But when it came to computers, he wasn't so sure about the expense and suggested an instructor instead of just buying one outright without knowing how computers work. she did not need any instructor at all because, by only the hit and trial method, she learned the basic skills like word processing capabilities that are found on every device nowadays!
Her thirst for knowledge regarding Computers was quenched when her father took her to a nearby learning center. She was only 8 years old, but she still wanted the MCP certification. The instructor said, “ she can’t learn this as she is only eight”. This ignited the curiosity in her and she got the MCP certificate.
