What subject did you enjoy the most when you went to school? I admit, there were a lot of subjects that I felt a bit overwhelmed by. However, there were many subjects that I enjoyed. One of them that I enjoyed was History. Especially certain periods like the Civil War, both World War eras, and many more, there was some interesting things to study. So how about you? What subject do you/did you enjoy the most in school?

My all time favorite subject was forensic science during my senior year of high school. Got to watch CSI once a week and got a chance to study how bones are for each race, and how to analyze a crime scene. Freaking sweet!

Wow that sounds like an interesting subject. Sadly, I have not gotten a chance to study that one. It was just never offered at my school. The closest thing that I got to study was a law class in my senior year, where we read a bit on the subject. Sadly, that was about as far as we could go. Still, forensic science sounds intriguing. Thank you for your response, its much appreciated.

my all time favorite subject is mathematics. I love it. Yes,I know many people hate this subject and its one of the greatest nightmares for students before exams but I loved it. For mathematics one thing is very true,either you love it or you hate it but you can't ignore it! Other than mathematics I liked the science subject of course( excluding biology!) and a bit out of the way than my usual preferences I liked literature also. As I am pursuing a course in engineering I had to bid goodbye to literature but I really miss those classes!

Math was one of those subjects for me where I depended on the day exactly how good I was at it. Sometimes I grasped it very easily and could solve everything without any problems. And other days(most days at that), I felt like I wanted to throw my textbook out the window. Fortunately, those good days were the days that counted. I passed my college Algebra class with a solid A, how I'll never know. Also, I got top marks in the math part of the ACT which floored me.
Thanks for your response.

Mathematics is called maths because it revolves around calculations and formulas as such . This is also one of my favorite subject as i love calculating formulas and formulating the formulas. Similarly in science a little bit of math comes as is in the case of physics where formulas arise or evolve as a upper hand no i am a grownup guy and my field of work is different i too love my math classes . I also miss them.

I do not think I can overstate exactly how much I like history. It saddens me when people typecast it as a boring subject. To see that other people like it is great news. There is so much to learn from this subject. After all, what good is today if you cannot learn from the mistakes of yesterday? To see other people enjoying this great subject is good.
Thank you for your response.

A good teacher can make a subject really fun and understandable. There were more than a few cases where I was meh about, but the teacher really made the material interesting and taught it in a way where it was easy to understand. I have had some good teachers, thankfully most of them, that have really made a subject. I have had some bad teachers that really tanked my interest in a subject that looked remotely interesting. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated.

I never really liked biology in school but that was nothing to do with the subject. Actually the subject seemed to be quite interesting. I had a bad teacher during my class that soured me on the subject. The teacher really did not explain anything and just gave out the assignments. He was an old guy, who was likely just getting a paycheck and counting the days to retirement. Which was a shame, as I was looking forward to that subject.
Thank you for your response. Its much appreciated.

Ah physics and chemistry, two subjects that I never really got into. They seemed interesting, do not get me wrong. Just not my cup of tea. They were optional courses in my school and I had other courses that took a bit higher priority for where I wanted to go. Still, it was a very popular subject with a lot of people and one that filled up quickly. Thank you for your response, it is much appreciated.
