Introduction
Science is very important in a student’s life.
It’s through the science subjects that we begin to think logically and find answers to our questions.
I found all the aspects of science interesting, like physics, biology and chemistry, as these sciences answer everyday questions about why things happen and how we evolved.
What is it?
Today, I will be talking about science, which I find the most interesting.
It is computer science.
How did you learn about it?
I remember that I started becoming interested in it when we started with the computer science lessons in the 6th standard.
We had a wonderful teacher who taught us this subject in a very interesting way.
Her name was Ms. Meenakshi.
We used to have both theory and practical lessons for this subject.
We used to look forward to the lab sessions as we got to work on the computers at that time and try out several things we had learned in class.
The lab sessions were always enjoyable, but our teacher taught it in a very interesting way and we all enjoyed the theory lessons a lot too.
Why are you interested in it?
There are many interesting things that I have learned from this science.
The first thing is how we can use computers not just as a source of entertainment, but it’s use is much more vast than that.
It can be used to organize and plan things at home. It can be used for many other day-to-day activities like banking, research work, shopping, connecting with friends and relatives and so on.
Not only that, it helps the artists create new art and helps designers create clothes, cars, buildings, etc. Another reason that I have an interest in this science is because I know that in every field today, we need to use computers.
It will help me with my higher studies and also in my career later.
In this contemporary world, computer science has become an important science, and it is essential that everyone is computer savvy to be able to do well in their studies or work or even if it is used as a source of entertainment.
