What was your favorite subject in school and why? Was it because you were good at it? Did you have an awesome teacher who inspired you? Share your stories here! For me - My favorite subject in elementary school was math because I was really good at it. Then, in high school, I had two amazing history teachers. I realized I loved history because it was interesting, and now I am a history major in college :)

I am a senior in high school, and I've grown to realize that, though in the past it has usually been boring, I am fascinated by history. The thing I like the most about it is seeing how man-kind as slowly progressed up to this point, and learning about the specific events that led to a huge leap in intelligence or technology. I am also taking a History of Rock n Roll class right now, and it's really cool to see how the combination of early country, blues, and even slave songs have all led to what we call rock today.

I always liked Math in grade school, and in high school. To me, it was just a no brainer. Once I got past those greater than and less than signs in the first grade, it was all down hill. Seriously, that is was harder than algebra. Then when I got older and we started switching classes for each subject, I think I like my Math teachers best. Not just one year, but every year, my Math teacher was my favorite. Then after my Sophomore year of high school, because I wasn't in the college preparatory program they wouldn't let me take any more Math classes. That's when I got into computers, and computer programming. And still to this day, I am pretty good at math. I can sometimes even figure stuff in my head faster than people can use a calculator. But I am horrible at every other subject. There's not a single literary document that I can tell you the theme of, etc. So I am definitely a Math buff. Thanks for starting this discussion, and have a great day!

my favourite subject at school was biology. but since i hated physics, i did not take up science as my major subject, when i was in my intermediary level, i took commerce group but dint like it either. so now i am in college studying my most favourite subject psychology. i wanted to study psychology in my school days but still happy that i'm gonna pursue a degree in psychology:-)

My favourite subject was always literature. I always liked to read so I guess its just natural that I gravitated towards it. I did have some pretty great lit teachers in high school though, 3 amazing ladies. Now I'm studying literature in Univeristy:)
