My first computer was a Timex Sinclair TS-1000. "goto"s were an unavoidable thing on it.

Yes, I had courses in programming prior to that (FORTRAN and IBM 360 Assembler with Assist), but the TS-1000 was the first computer I owned. (About 1/2,000th the speed and three times the cost of a Raspberry Pi, for sake of comparison.)

There are some cool things to be done with objects, but that all came a bit later.
