Don't feel bad, my first language I've ever written programs in was C-64 basic :)
I don't know what would have been a better choice, but JS is not bad for a browser language. It had a rough childhood, but turned out to be a decent adult.
I still remember VB Script supported in old IE, but then there was JS and I just focused on that. It really made no difference to me since I was able to build cool stuff I wanted to. That brought me joy of creation and that's what mattered, not "that's not OOP like god set in stone".
Whatever enables people to be more involved in programming, I consider it as a good thing.
