Student Spotlight: Jerriah W.
We are excited to recognize Jerriah W. for our Access Academies Student Spotlight program!
Grade: 7th (arrived to the school in January!)
Current Teacher: Mr. Cherry
Favorite Subject: Science.
Science has been my favorite subject since the 4th grade because not only do you learn about your body – you learn deep inside your body (genes and traits). Science teaches you phases and the difference between meiosis and mitosis. I am really looking forward to the science fair. In 6th grade my friend and I earned 2nd place for our science project on crystals. It was hard because it took two days. The crystals were forming but were forming incorrectly. They were to form around the rock, but they formed on top of the rock. It took us 5 tries to get it to work. This year my science experiment was going to be a rainbow rose- how fast water gets into the rose. However, it was too easy and I decided to do an experiment where I create Oobleck.
Current Enrichment Programs: Character Education, STEM, StuCo, and Chess Club
Favorite Enrichment Program: STEM
I like the technology. Right now we are programming games. We are trying to make our own Frogger game.
Prospective High Schools: Ursuline, Notre Dame, or St. Joseph Academy
These schools have nice science classes and art programs.
Future Career Aspirations: First, I want to study veterinary medicine, but am also considering engineering – specifically coding. I want to create a device to people to use. I would also like to study animation because I like to draw.
Prospective Colleges: I am not sure. Maybe ITT Tech, but I am not positive.
