Why They Love Being a Student

May loves learning new things and loves sharing her knowledge. She’s always coming home telling us new things she’s learned. And she loves working with younger students and helping them.

Favorite Subject & Why

Right now, she likes history a lot because it challenges her the most. Her science class this year is a bit repetitive if what she learned last year at her old school. But she generally really likes math and science and wants to go to MIT.
