Introduction: As a high school student in the 21st century, there's no denying the importance of computer science in today's world. Whether you're a seasoned programmer or just dipping your toes into the world of coding, the power of computer science is undeniable. In this blog, I'll share my journey as a 12th-grader venturing into the fascinating realms of C, C++, and Python, and how this journey has not only improved my computer science profile but also shaped my outlook on technology and problem-solving.
Chapter 1: The Foundations - Learning C
Learning C:
C, often referred to as the "mother of all programming languages," is where my journey began. Its simplicity and efficiency make it an excellent choice for beginners. As a high school student with limited programming experience, I decided to start with the basics.
Challenges and Triumphs:
Learning C came with its fair share of challenges, but it was incredibly rewarding. I tackled problems like understanding pointers and memory management, and I quickly realized that the core concepts of C would lay a strong foundation for my future endeavors in computer science.
Chapter 2: Building on the Basics - C++
Transition to C++:
With C under my belt, I transitioned to C++. C++ builds upon the concepts of C while introducing the object-oriented programming paradigm. It was a natural progression, and I found myself enjoying the flexibility and power it offered.
Projects and Applications:
I started working on small projects and applications in C++. From simple text-based games to data structures and algorithms implementations, C++ opened up a world of possibilities. It was during this phase that I began to see how the knowledge of programming languages could translate into tangible solutions.
Chapter 3: Python - The Versatile Language
Exploring Python:
Python is often praised for its simplicity and readability. As I delved into Python, I realized why it's a favorite among developers for a wide range of applications, from web development to machine learning.
Python in Real-Life Projects:
Python allowed me to take on real-life projects with ease. I built web applications using frameworks like Flask and Django, and I even dabbled in data analysis and machine learning. The versatility of Python broadened my horizons and showed me the real-world applications of computer science.
Chapter 4: A Glimpse into the Future
Continual Learning:
As I prepare to graduate high school and venture into higher education, my journey with C, C++, and Python has instilled in me the importance of continual learning. The field of computer science is dynamic, and staying up-to-date with the latest technologies and trends is crucial.
Networking and Collaboration:
I've also come to appreciate the significance of networking and collaboration in the computer science community. Joining online forums, participating in coding challenges, and collaborating on open-source projects have enriched my learning experience.
Conclusion: Embracing the World of Computer Science
My journey as a 12th-grader exploring C, C++, and Python has been an enlightening experience. These languages have not only improved my computer science profile but have also given me a broader perspective on problem-solving and technology. As I step into the future, I'm excited to see where this journey will take me, and I'm ready to embrace the ever-evolving world of computer science.
If you're a fellow student or someone curious about programming, I encourage you to take the plunge and start your own journey. With determination and a willingness to learn, the world of computer science is yours to explore and conquer.

How would y'all like to create your own image to image search, just like #amazon does, but for free?
I helped write this blog recently and I can confirm, the product's pretty good. It doesn't involve a lot of coding, and gives decent results. Plus, you get to keep your data.
Check it out here if you'd like:

Armstrong and Scott with Hatches Open
"Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and David R. Scott sit with their spacecraft hatches open while awaiting the arrival of the recovery ship, the USS Leonard F. Mason after the successful, but early, completion of their Gemini VIII mission. They are assisted by USAF Pararescuemen Eldrige M. Neal, Larry D. Huyett, and Glenn M. Moore. The overhead view shows the Gemini 8 spacecraft with the yellow flotation collar attached to stabilize the spacecraft in choppy seas. The green marker dye is highly visible from the air and is used as a locating aid."
Date: March 16, 1966
NASA ID: S66-18602

How I do come up with coding/programming projects?
Saturday 6th January 2024
Pinterest is the love of my life (after Jesus), I love that site so much! So many people have asked where I get inspiration for my projects and 99.99% of the time I saw a pin on Pinterest~!
How I find the design inspirations is by searching things like:
web design
notion templates
app design
ux ui design
powerpoint template
then I put them into a Pinterest board and refer back to them in the future! Most times I add my own twist to the designs because I want to make it more personalised to what I want!
But yeah, try pinterest! Find your interest and search on Pinterest for inspiration! PIN your INTEREST~! 🙌🏾🖤
