Biology
My favorite aspect of biology is animals! I like to understand how and why animals act the way they do. It explains every interaction among populations and how it effects the dynamic of the different systems. I am also interested in conserving the populations of endangered animals. Some of my favorite animals are bears, sloths, cats, dolphins, sea otters, quokkas, and raccoons.
Computer Science
My favorite aspect of computer science is that it is a field that has a wide range of use. It can go from social to professional. I am looking forward in learning more about computer science.
