Math and IT Are So For Me

I have always excelled in mathematics starting from my grade school days. I could even beat older grades in math quizzes.

In high school, I discovered my passion for computers and my mother would always tell me to get outside my room and smell the flowers.

And because my mom said it would be healthy to try something else other than computers, she let me take an online humanities degree program major in philosophy. I didn’t really like doing that for her but I must admit that I loved studying philosophy particularly logic because the logic lessons I learned had been so similar to the logic employed in computer programming. But perhaps what attracted me most were the math subjects that were also offered in the humanities degree.

So, equipped with math and logic, I went back to programming. I was actually looking for bachelor degree programs online to further my education but I decided to just learn things on my own by reading stuff from the internet and looking for specific topics using the search engine.

It is so amazing what the internet can do. There had been several online computer IT degrees I stumbled upon and some of them I almost considered taking but I guess I am now content with running my own online consultancy business.
