The last part of a slice denotes steps:

sequence[start:stop:steps]

As the last part is steps, it goes on the string on steps of -1:

i am a student
             ^
i am a student
            ^
i am a student
           ^

String_index[start:stop:step] You set the start to 0 and the end to the last element and the step -1 which mean its gonna go from first to last but reversed
