Same here! I had to "delete" my programs though (I think I was able to hide/archive it and restore it after the teacher had checked my empty program list... or did I write an emulator of an empty programs list? I can't remember).
I also wrote the first TI-BASIC tutorial in German on my first blog as a high-schooler.
It got pretty popular with it's target group (other high-schoolers who were bored in Math class), and 12 years later I got an email by an unknown person who had randomly stumbled upon my blog again and thanked me for writing it. That one email had been enough to make it all worth it by itself.
