Why They Love Being a Student

Nathan has been a straight-A student since pre-k because he truly loves learning.Whether he’s competing with the Emerald Tigers robotics team, being part school’s leadership club, or practicing for e-sports, he’s always looking for the next challenge. He doesn't just want to learn science; he wants to use it to find cures for diseases. Seeing him dive into his own creative projects at home makes me truly believe he has the drive to reach his dreams and make an impact in this world.

Favorite Subject & Why

Math and science. Numbers came naturally to him from a young age. When he was 2 years old. He asked me for skittles, put them in a pattern around a plate and asked me to pour hot water in the middle. That tiny experiment was the spark that never went out; since that day, he has never stopped working on science, asking "why" or "how" something works, reading and learning to solve different cubes, even making patterns and flags on the Rubik’s cube.
