Why I Love Computer Science: In high school, I thought I wanted a career in medicine, but my first Python class changed everything. Computer science captivated me with its focus on problem-solving and critical thinking from the get-go. I love how it encourages creativity and thinking outside the box, rather than just regurgitating information. The field's versatility and constant innovation excite me, as does its broad range of real-world applications. The collaborative nature of computer science, which I experienced through class projects, labs, and hackathons, adds to its appeal. I am passionate about this interdisciplinary industry and eager to revolutionize the technological landscape through my studies and future career in computer science.
