4 Years (My Scratch Story)

Published 2021-07-14
Sometimes life takes you to places you never expected you'd go.

That's sort of my mindset towards my position on scratch at this moment. Today marks four full years on this account, and oh boy I did not expect to amass over 24 thousand supporters...

Yet, here we are now, and all I can really say is thank you. It's been a great 4 years on this account, and I think I should summarize my journey on scratch for you guys as a little token of my gratitude...

In actuality, my scratch journey began almost 7 years ago in my grade 5 coding class, I had some cs account and never really thought much of the platform as a whole. But in late 2016 I revisited the site and started feeling inclined to maybe create my own account. I started this with the account @potatopeeler7 back in March of 2017. I wasn't very good, or known at all. Bringing in about 2 followers before I was inspired by the animation community of 2017 to create my own animation account... So on July 14th 2017 at 11:36am, the exact moment 4 years prior to this project being released, I created this account. As a 13 year old, I was fitting in to the 2017 animation community, where I made some early friends like @-BoyMcBoy- @MrRaisin and many more. By the time 3.0 released in January of 2019, I had gained a following of 700 or so. But 3.0 was a big change for me, and with highschool looming and other stresses, it was time for a break...

Fast forward to grade 10 career studies class, where me and my friend @sketchtarts were sitting in the library, I revisited scratch to show him some old projects. Just seeing that got me interested again, I was likely too old to go anywhere on scratch, but I wanted to see how some of my old friends were doing. So I rejoined, not too much happened, reconnected with old friends and then all of a sudden, as the pandemic hit, I began gaining traction, 1000 followers on april 1st and just over 2 months later, I reached 10000. It's been crazy. Thank you all for the support, it means the world. And shoutout to all of my good friends, I can't fit you all here because I'm running out of room.

I know my time on scratch has naturally faded due to me just growing up and getting busy with life, but I'll always remember the time I had here and will have for the next little while (I'm not leaving yet lol). But for now, all I can say is thank you, and have a great day everyone!

Potato out.
