In 2019, I bought a laptop from many computer society. Because that time, I I was admitted at United International University as a computer science student. Before that, I haven’t used any computer in my life. So that’s why I don’t have any idea how to use it. And my uncle, yeah, installed windows and all set up. Do all types of setup for me. And then he and this is this to me that how to install, uh, programming tools like c programming tools, code blocks. And also he told me to learn some time in practice. After that, I from YouTube, I have learned how to how to typing fast and And maybe I practice, uh, 3 days long to how to, uh, memorize the keyboards options. And then I learn programming language. And and that will help me a lot when I my class started. That time, I I practice without, uh, without seeing any key keyboard wired, uh, by looking at the laptop with screens. And and also, I I have a very good, uh, a knowledge in C programming that helps me a lot to get good marks in class And the and and it helps me to get a I mean, the 90% mark in my first time, Mister. And in day by day, I I try to improve by using this trip base. So when at the time, when I think about that that now I at current time, I am a computer science engineer. I’ve completed my educations, and I’m working as a research assistant. I thought that no idea about the computer science, and now I’m as a researcher. So it’s pretty interesting for me.

In 2019, I bought a laptop from a computer society because at that time, I was admitted to United International University as a computer science student. Before that, I hadn't used any computer in my life, so I didn't have any idea how to use it. My uncle installed Windows and set up everything for me, including all types of setups. He showed me how to install programming tools like C programming tools and Code::Blocks, and advised me to practice. I learned from YouTube how to type fast and practiced for 3 days to memorize the keyboard shortcuts. Then I started learning programming languages, which helped me a lot when my classes began. I practiced without looking at the keyboard, just focusing on the laptop screen. Having a good knowledge of C programming helped me achieve good marks in class, around 90%. I continued to improve day by day using this laptop. Now, as a computer science engineer and a research assistant, I find it fascinating how I started with no knowledge of computer science and now work as a researcher.
