My favourite pasttime is to spend time on the computer, even at a tender age I liked computer systems. to have a computer was a dream, an almost impossible dream. I had a friend named Akash at that time, we were in the same school, same grade and we had a very good relationship. At that time he had a computer system and we used to spend our free time playing games, printing greeting cards, banners, we also did our school home work. It was very nice and playful. Even then I yearned to own my own computer, so I could spend more time learning how to use the computer. One day my parents went to market without me because I was in school at that time so I stayed back till evening with my grandmother until my parents came back. "When my parents returned home they arrived with a big box with no labels or printings on the outside of the box. My parents always knew that I wanted a computer. I didn't know what was inside of the big brown box until the next day when 1 saw the computer on my homework table. It was the best day of my life, for that day my dream became reality. Now my favourite hobby turned to be computers and 1 like to spend a lot time making graphics, programs, configuring systems in my new Pentium II 450mhz processor, and playing with my small network system that I have at home. I also like to alter pictures for example take one girl face out and put in another girl or man face that no one would tell that particular picture was altered. I like to write my essays on my computer because I have more fun, my mind is more relaxed and I think better as opposed to writing with pen. At least it works for me. I am glad that I have chosen computers as my subject in school because I think the next millennium will be based on computers. I believe that in the future computers will became a part of everyday life, in schools, jobs, and even in leisure activities. In order to compete or stay abreast with peers computer knowledge will be mandatory. For me computer is not only having a hobby, which is very interesting, but it also opens doors now and in the future. My hobby has a promising career in a fast growing, high demanding and very rewarding field.
