My Journey of Interest in Computer Science

From a very young age, my fascination with computers and technology has been a driving force in my life. My name is Daksha Mishra, and this is the story of how my curiosity and passion for computers shaped my journey into the world of computer science.

Early Beginnings: Discovering Computers

My journey began when I was introduced to our family desktop. I remember spending countless hours exploring the various applications it had. One of my favorite activities was using Microsoft Paint, where I could unleash my creativity by drawing colorful illustrations. I also enjoyed using Microsoft Word to type out stories and learn how formatting worked. These simple yet profound activities sparked an early sense of curiosity about how computers operate.

My father, an accountant by profession, played a significant role in nurturing my interest. He often used software like Excel and Tally for his work and would occasionally teach me how to use them. Watching him work and learning about the functionality of these tools gave me an understanding of how computers could be used for problem-solving and efficiency. His guidance laid the foundation for my fascination with the technical aspects of computers.

A New World: Exploring the Internet

At a relatively small age, I received my first mobile phone. Unlike many of my peers, who preferred playing games and watching reels, I was drawn to exploring the vast world of the internet. The ability to search for answers to any question, discover new topics, and learn about the world through a screen thrilled me. This habit of exploration allowed me to gain knowledge about computers and technology far beyond my age.

Developing Deeper Interests: How Computers Work

As time passed, my curiosity deepened. I started wondering about the inner workings of computers. How did they process information? How did websites function? These questions led me to dive deeper into computer science as I progressed in my studies. I began seeking answers and gradually understood the principles behind hardware, software, and programming. Every piece of knowledge I gained felt like uncovering a new layer of a fascinating puzzle.

Entering the World of Programming

My journey took a significant turn when I decided to learn programming. I started with simple languages like QBASIC and gradually moved on to Python. Programming felt like a superpower—the ability to instruct a machine to perform tasks using logic and creativity was exhilarating. Alongside programming, I also began experimenting with creating websites.

My first website, FlexDaksha, was a proud milestone in my journey. It was an incredible feeling when Google indexed my website, making it accessible to the world. This achievement motivated me to keep learning and improving my skills. I even started creating animation videos to enhance my websites, combining my creative and technical interests into one platform.

Continuous Learning: A Lifelong Passion

Even today, my enthusiasm for computer science remains as strong as ever. I constantly explore new technologies, programming languages, and tools. I am driven by the belief that there is always something new to learn in the vast field of computer science. Each discovery and achievement fuels my desire to delve deeper and contribute to this ever-evolving domain.

Conclusion

Looking back, I feel immense gratitude for the experiences and guidance that have shaped my journey. From a curious child experimenting with Paint and Word to a budding programmer and website developer, my journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. As I continue to learn and grow, I am excited about the endless possibilities that the future holds in the realm of computer science.

At last, this is just the beginning of my story.
