Hey, guys! I have a question, do any of you also wnt to major (or minor) in software engineering, when you're in college? I still have a little bit (I'm also taking a gap year), but I have really been enjoying computer programming. Also, I have some recommendations on helpful programming books, if anyone wants them!

Not really, I’m not too interested in engineering and tech stuff :)

When I show grandma when she's curious, she gets tense XD

Hi! I don't want to major in software engineering but my dad works in cybersecurity so I know a lot about tech! I actually want to be a UX designer, which does use software so I guess they are similar. That's really cool you know what you want to be!

Hi what is your favorite book? My favorite book is the Secret Garden!

The Penderwicks, but I'm reading some books that are competing with them :0

I love The School for Good and Evil. I read the whole series!!

I've never met a kid who has also read them!! - let alone have them also be their favorite book!!!

Yes! It's best to read The Christmas of Shiloh after the first!

No, but planning to now that you mention it!!

No, I haven't, but I've heard of it! Also, I love your user name!!
