Student of the Week Oluchi Akwani

8th grader at Tony Hillerman Middle School

Nusenda Credit Union, in partnership with the APS Education Foundation, highlights an APS student each week.

What Oluchi likes about school: I love the fact I get to learn something new every day. School helps me to challenge previous thoughts and solve new problems, which I enjoy.

Favorite subject: My favorite subjects are math and science. I love these subjects because they tend to be more rigorous. I also want to pursue a career in STEM when I am older. I hope to become either a mechanical engineer, astrophysicist, biomedical engineer, or doctor specializing in pediatrics! These subjects are key to understanding the universe, which I find exciting. 

Hobbies and activities: My hobbies are more on the creative side. I love gardening, painting, playing the violin, and reading. I find these hobbies very comforting.
