I really enjoyed reading this.

> Then in high school, I joined the business club which had competitive C++ events.

What kind of high school has a business club with competitive C++? Is/was this common? I graduated 4 years ago from a school in the Bay Area and the closest we had was FIRST robotics or a Data Structures and Algorithms class (which we had to beg for...)

It was Business Professionals of America. At the state competition there were only 5ish people competing in C++ out of >100 schools. We didn't actually have any programming classes or activities within my school.
