Describe something you learned in high school

Let’s be realwhen I look back at my high school years, I can’t say the subjects I studied laid the foundation for my career. I ended up in the fast-paced world of computers, a field that barely existed in my school’s curriculum back then. Coding? Tech innovation? Those were distant dreams, not part of my Class 9 or 10 syllabus. It’s not just high school, either. Even the courses I took in college didn’t directly translate to my professional life.
