Each one of us have different fascinations for things we come across in life. Even when we were at school, we had different affinities for different subjects. All along during my high school years, I was so fascinated with "Geography". So interesting to learn about countries around the world, amazing places, cultures, people, natural resources, climatic conditions, and so on. In fact, it is that affinity that makes me interested in travelling to countries around the world today.
How about you ? What was your favorite subject at school ?

Thanks. I played the violin. I was in the orchestra from age 9 to 18. I'm sooo rusty now. But they say it takes 20 years to be a violinist so.. if I ever pick up my violin , it wouldn't take too long for me to get take into shape.

Hello Sarah. Orchestra ? That would be very fascinating ! Did you play some musical instrument, and participated in the orchestras ? You are a very talented and gifted person.

That's wonderful. Math certainly helps in learning other subjects too. You can then persue other fields of study if you like to.

Hi! My favorite subject at school was German, and it still is. Now, I am a teacher in German and I am very happy that I can work something with the thing I like! I also liked and still like the History, just because I think every person, must know the history of his own country!

Were you fascinated by Geography? Wierd... I always thought that geography was the worse subject ever, but it really depends in the teacher. One teacher can make the whole class lose interest in that subject, but another can make the whole class love it and perk up whenever they hear about it.
To me, my favourite subject was always science, but I can put that down to my yr 3 teacher teaching me about it. :) And I loved it.

Yes, you are right. I agree with you. I do very much learning about the countries and cultures around the world. Then, my geography teacher had a lot of influence on affinity for geography too.

When i am just in school my favorite subject to study is Math & Science. I am so engrossed to study.
Just like now, i love to teach my son for his subject math & science, and i am so happy that my son got higher score in Math, that my hardwork & patience are being compensated well. That's a good deed indeed!

Fine arts ! I am certainly very interested in the traditions and cultures of different nationalities around the world. When I visit countries overseas, I try to find the chance to go to museums.

That is excellent that you took Geography till your Masters degree. So, are you teaching Geography at the school or University these days ? Research in the environmental studies would be very interesting.

Hello Coco. Yes, Biology is an interesting subject. I did not go for that, but I saw many of my classmates enjoying learning Biology. Later on, some of them became medical doctors too.

Yes, indeed, Art has its unique values. Are you an artist too, painings, sculptures, and so on ? That is a special gift, indeed.

The best thing at school was math :)
Maybe because i was just good at it . I never study for math or anything never opened a textbook or did homework i just did everything in class :)
Well it was good times , and the teacher scolded me alot for missing for like 60% of all the classes :D But well i scored perfect score on tests and exams so it was not big deal and the teacher let me off the bat :)
Damn i miss school .

Sounds like you were a very clever student, and your teacher must have realized that too when you scored perfect in the tests and exams. That is indeed excellent.

When i was at elementary and secondary i used to love science.But science is nowhere to place in our course and i am enrolled in engineering so i forced myself to love math in any way i can.. :-D And believe me that is the hardest of all in my college days.

Are you an Engineer now ? Oh, that is great ! Yeah, that would have required very hard work, indeed. But, very good that you succeeded in becoming an Engineer. So, you certainly have a very bright career future ! Best wishes to you !

English was my favourite and best subject at school. I have always loved reading and writing. Maths and science were my worst subjects. I saw them as cold, one sided subjects compared to the imagination and flexible nature of language. I failed maths and science at high school but always did well in English.

That sounds very good. Since you are very good in English, and in writing, you can some day become a world-famous author of excellent novels too. That would be very nice. Do you like writing novels ?

Not being in school was my favorite subject as a kid. Mostly because I read a lot at home and had already learned most of the stuff they were teaching, school was a bore and recess was he$$ since the other students and some of the teachers called me mean names.
@greenline (14838)

Really ? Why did they call you by mean names ? Oh, they should not do that at all. Well, one can certainly also learn a lot of things studying by oneself at home. I am sure you are a very gifted person.

The one thing that interested me the most when I was in school was science and particularly the life sciences. It was my love of life science that led me to majoring in biology when I was in college and it is the reason that I thought I wanted to be a doctor when I grew up. I still do love the sciences and love exploring them with my children through experiments and such, but I did make the decision to not go on to medical school when my oldest daughter was born.

Oh, if you had proceeded on to Medical School, you would have become a Medical Doctor already. But, any way, there are many things to learn about in life sciences. Is your daughter persuing the studues too ?

I loved math. Especially algebra. There is something about the systematic solving of a problem, based on variables that I really like. Ironically, I also liked dissecting the animals in biology and learning about cells and how the body works. So, I currently work in the healthcare field. It is not as straightforward as algebra, but I do like the problem solving involved.

Biology is an interesting subject too, yes. Since you like disecting, you can become a very good surgeon. Are you planning to become a surgeon ? Best wishes to you !

My favorite subject at school would have to be chemestry. I understood things so much better when it was hands on, and you could physically see what the teacher was talking about or how things would mix togeather and what the reaction ould be. If I could go back to school to study just that subject all over again, I would.

Chemistry is a very interesting subject, isn't it ? It is amazing how materials react and give the products. Yeah, there would be many things to study, practically endless !
