Why They Love Being a Student

Understanding content allows her to engage with her environment and fill in knowledge gaps to better understand how the world works. Shirina, being the curious girl she is, always has new things she is interested in learning about, whether it is about her course content, her older siblings' educations, music artists, cultures, and her own identity, or new hobbies to try with friends. Shirina is a passionate student, making her an avid and curious learner.

Favorite Subject & Why

Shirina's favorite subject is social studies because she enjoys her class, completing hands-on class projects, and is very interested in the course content. Her favorite content this year is European monarchies because of their drama, extravagance, and diverse political views, which make them so intriguing.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

This $20,000 award will go toward Shirina's education, including school field trips, club activities, exploring interesting courses, Sunday Chinese school, and extracurriculars like Girl Scouts, figure skating, and other hobbies.
