“Bubble ball”

I was shocked to know about a 14 yr old kid who created the most popular app. His name is Robert Nay, and he's an 8th grader in Spanish Fork, Utah.  He created the bubble ball and it’s in first place for the most popular free apps. It even beat “Angry Birds” which is in second place.The irony is that while other kids are playing games he’s creating them and right now he is in the process of making another one. Another fact not shocking at all was that he used a public library to help him with his making of the game and to do the work necessary to create it. Nay's app consists of a series of puzzles where players have to guide a ball through courses that they manipulate and it was downloaded a million times in its first two weeks. I was impressed and this reminded me that if you set your mind to do something you can accomplish anything in this life.
