Yes, I enjoyed learning about science when I was at school. However, my interest in science lasted until 10th grade. I found some of the concepts challenging and realized I didn't have the aptitude for it. For example, in 10th grade, I struggled to grasp all the information and realized I wasn't equipped for the subject. I value that experience because it taught me to recognize my strengths and limitations. If I were to encounter a similar challenging situation in the future, I would be prepared to adjust my approach.
