    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Thanks for giving this topic. I would like to talk about a area of science which I am interested more that is Robotics. I like Robotics very much, now a days a vast technology improved in our countries. I think overall I think Robotics plays a vital role because Robotics gives a time consuming and it works for us free. Actually Robotics makes our work very easy, it takes part in an agricultural work or a physical work or mental work. Robotics makes very easy to us, for example we can take it for home appliances, household chores are easily done by Robotics. Now a days many home makers are using Robotics for sweeping and cleaning the floor, that is very useful to us. I would like to learn about Robotics because in future we would definitely use Robotics than the man made helps. So definitely I want to study about the Robotics features and how it works.

    Firstly, I love programming languages. I deliberately chose CSE to pursue my passion. I came from an ICSE background at my schooling, which laid a strong foundation of programming languages. Currently, I am strengthening my skills by learning web development and I would like to see myself in any of roles of the software engineering department or IT sector. What made me to gain interest in this programming languages is the logic part, which is much more complex and we need to use our concise to code the logic part.

    I believe the most fascinating subject or the area of science that I would be keen on is human anatomy. Growing up in a family full of doctors, I was always very intrigued with the idea of biology and what science can do into human space. My sibling is also a doctor, which is how I got my first-hand exposure to my knowledge of human anatomy and the biology that goes into picture. I would definitely love to have the chance to learn more about it, which is why I have also taken a few workshops around the same. I love attending conferences, being a part of events where we get to speak with the medical professionals, whether these are doctors or paramedics of sorts. It tells us so much about what the human body can be capable of and it also makes us learn so much about the underlying diseases for that matter. If not what I'm currently doing in life, I would have definitely loved to be a part of the medical fraternity and it is also a very noble profession to begin with. The fact that you are able to actually create an impact on so many lives and save so many lives is what makes it such a noble profession altogether and I think it will be a privilege, if not in this lifetime, probably in the next one to definitely have had the chance to be a doctor or probably get into a space wherein I am able to contribute into science, human science for that matter. I think that would be wonderful.

    So one area of science that I've always found fascinating is biology. It was first introduced to me when I was a student back in 5th standard. And I always used to wonder how our human body functions. What are the components and the organs inside it, all the other systems. And as my grade increased, I got to study the subject more in depth. And it was truly an amazing experience because my teacher, she was also so good at teaching the subject. And it was actually very fun to attend her lectures and grasp all the knowledge that she would try to give us. Biology speaks a lot about the living organisms in the world and how they function. And how the human body reacts to all the organisms. And everything that happens in our body. With regards to rains, plants, animals, humans. There was a whole lot of things, apart from just the human body.

    If given a chance I would like to learn biology as a field of science and the reason is this field has a wide range of knowledge about the human physiology psychology and other aspects. However, I had a chance to learn biology in my 12th standard but I didn't choose it as my compulsory subject as I wanted to go in mathematics field or in engineering side. I got to know about this field in my 12th standard as well as from my friends who are currently studying in MBBS and B pharmacy. It is a very wide variety, it has a very wide variety of knowledge about human body and I am interested to learn about the basic things that are needed by a human to know about their body so that they can incorporate good habits in their life to keep their bodies healthy and this is why I would like to learn biology. Apart from this, biology has a wider aspect and it can help us to learn about psychology through which we can understand others thinking perspective.

    The area of science which I personally like to know more on is Genetics. As most of the children are genetically getting a lot of disorders such as Autism, ADHD, even Hearing Impairment and further more disorders like Down syndrome etc. So I personally feel Genetics plays an important role in this type of disorders as parents are not getting aware and doing an inter-family marriage. So they are doing a marriage within the family. So learning of this type of things will help me to counsel the parents and helps to prevent this from not moving into the future. So this helps me to counsel the parents and to prevent this by not getting into the future. Because Autism is getting increased day by day as one from the 100 children are getting the Autistic features and from the period of Covid, Virtual Autism is getting highly increased. Virtual Autism have been rapidly increased and

    An area of science that I'm interested in would be biology. I came to know about this subject when I was in high school actually. It was one of my subjects there. I had a stream called PCMB where I had all four subjects that is physics, maths, chemistry and biology. And out of those I think my favourite class was the biology class. Our teacher back then was a really dynamic person. He used to make our biology classroom really interesting. The functions inside, how our body functions and how our brain functions, how are our bones generated, how our blood flows inside our body, that was all of this, all of these structures, all of this information was really interesting for me. Now to think about how our body is such a smart machine I can say, it always excites me to learn about it. Biology also is the base of the stream for further studies to become a doctor or a specific surgeon. It gives us a really wide range of career paths that helps our society bring a healthier lifestyle.
