This student has been helping our class survive when we are feeling our energy depleted. They're like a magic potion when you're HP is critical. In my opinion, their participation is often the difference between us getting through the period successfully versus getting stuck in a rut, like a car spinning its wheels in the mud. In other words, this student has been going full throttle.

I also want to shout out their growth. As a student who sometimes struggles with elements of writing, it's tempting to turn to AI to help polish your work, but if we do that too early in life, we make our communication dependent on machines and never learn to express ourselves fully. this student has been revising their work to express deeper, more poetic thoughts like: "I won a puskas and shined like a star, but sometimes even the brightest stars can turn off."

For their leadership and growth, our student of the week is Juan Hernandez Prieto!
