Learn MoreWhy They Love Being a Student
Amelie loves being a student because she says the sharing and learning of knowledge is one of the oldest rituals amongst humans. If her school doesn’t provide something she’s interested in, she helps make it possible. She created the astrophysics club at her school. And she requested the school have a stargazing party and space themed movie night.
Favorite Subject & Why
Amélie‘s favorite subject is currently math. She is in pre calculus at her school and she says math is the language of the universe. It’s challenging at times but she’s grateful to have such an amazing and inspiring teacher for pre calc. She also loves being the digital media editor for her school’s media publication. She’s combining her love of editing and science and has recently begun creating educational videos that will teach the fundamentals of physics to students.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
