Why I Love Computer Science: As a young child, I was fascinated by computers and technology. I was instantly captivated by our family desktop, eager to explore its capabilities and discover new ways to use it. My love for computers grew the more I learned about computer science. I was immediately drawn to the field and spent countless hours researching, tinkering with code, and trying to build projects. I loved using logic and critical thinking to create solutions and build new things. Computer science is also an expression of creativity, which not many people realize – it takes thinking creatively to solve coding issues, and I had never experienced that before. I am also very excited to start my cybersecurity journey!
