Your favorite subjects in school.

I'll update the information I left in the first post, but this time from the perspective of someone who hasn't attended classes for over a year.

Russian Language. Perhaps the thing I liked most about this subject was writing essays. Although we didn't write them often, and even less often were they essays that weren't in the awful standardized exam format. I started learning the rules 2-3 days before the exam and, to my surprise, discovered that some of it still stuck.

Literature. I never really liked classic works, and I didn't read them properly (although, there was an occasion when I read "The Master and Margarita" in just 3 days, and it turned out to be an interesting book). In independent assignments, I mostly got by with the teacher's explanations and discussions with those who had read the books, which I listened to carefully in class. If that didn't help, I used ICT.

English seemed boring in school. At the same time, you couldn't sleep in class: there were only 10 people in the group, and if everyone showed up, there was always a risk of being asked a question. At university, English doesn't get as tiresome, but the university program isn't designed for someone coming from an advanced English class. Sometimes they give very simple assignments.

Algebra. In essence, school algebra is the routine that you constantly have to deal with in physics, calculus, and other mathematical subjects, so it's hard for me to judge it now. It's like asking a 7th grader if they like adding numbers in columns. But I wasn't a big fan of it in school and overestimated my abilities, deciding that I could prepare for the exam on my own. As a result, I had to figure out the most difficult things from the school curriculum at university. Although, of course, the humanities focus of the class also had an impact.

Geometry. A fairly practical and interesting subject. I remember enjoying turning the unclear and confusing problem statement into a drawing. This often required me to engage the part of my brain that is responsible for spatial imagination, which was also great.

History. Paradoxically, I have a slight interest in history, but not in the subject itself.

Geography. A simple and informative subject. It has a very positive effect on broadening one's horizons if you at least attend classes and listen carefully.

Social Studies. My main enemy in school. However, towards the end of 11th grade, when there was a lot of talk about politics and related issues, there were various discussions, which were quite interesting.

Chemistry. I became incredibly interested in this subject from the 8th grade, thanks to an amazing teacher. Despite a very strict (close to university-level) system for evaluating knowledge, she told about a subject that many consider uninteresting in a fascinating way. In fact, it was the teacher's stories that intrigued me, and she, carried away, could go beyond the chemistry curriculum. For example, she once told in general terms and very briefly about some aspects of quantum physics. Electron cloud, superconductivity, etc. It was terribly incomprehensible, but terribly interesting.

Biology. I didn't study it much, which I slightly regret. I even read the textbook for 11th grade that I bought a while ago.

Physics. I didn't understand or like it until the 11th grade. In the 11th grade, when I was under pressure, I started trying to solve problems, starting with the simplest ones. I could now solve some of them mentally, but then I could spend up to 15-30 minutes on them. Realizing the importance of the subject for entering the polytechnic university, I tried very hard (although I could have tried harder), and studied with a tutor. As a result, in about six months, I learned a lot about this science, greatly improved my related skills in solving problems, and memorized the theory without rote learning. I read the textbooks with great interest. And after visiting the open day, I firmly decided to apply to the physics department.

Art History. I wrote notes in class depending on my mood. Not a very interesting subject. But I won't hide the fact that it was interesting to make presentations about some city, or about a European architectural style of a certain century, etc. And, of course, to tell the class about it.

Life Safety. Undoubtedly an important subject, but I treated it carelessly. I hope to compensate for this by studying the course of Basic Safety in the university.

Physical Education. Just as important as it is interesting. Definitely a good subject.

Computer Science. It was poor in school, and I didn't learn anything useful. I could have, of course, but as usual, I didn't have time. However, after a year of hellish programming at university, this gap in knowledge seems to have been filled.
