CHOICES STEM Club: the best thing that happened during my summer holiday in 2022. After weeks of pondering how I could apply the knowledge I learned in sciences, I stumbled upon the opportunity of being a founding member of this prestigious club, an opportunity I readily accepted. As members of the club, we were able to generate STEM-related ideas with the aim of making meaningful contributions to our society. This is an opportunity I will forever cherish and wouldn’t wish anyone to miss out on.

“You can dream beyond the container you find yourself in”

This is not only the heart of what the CHOICES club stands for but also what the CHOICES club has made me stand for. This container symbolizes our society, the background we may come from, and the stereotypes we face.

This club has made me want to go beyond what society says I cannot, it has made me know that I can be what my family background says I would not and it has made me know that I can become that which stereotypes says I should not. For that I congratulate this club for making an unforgettable mark on youths just like me in a country that desperately needs it.

Months after graduating from high school, I found myself idle and somewhat helpless. As a solution, I decided to put all my effort into finding a source of inspiration. Something that could set me on the right path to attaining all my goals, and this was when CHOICES club came to the rescue. As founding members of the club, we started building up the club which in turn began an intellectual development process in us. From the weekly STEM lectures to the consistent inspirational words from the advisors, CHOICES club has really put a mark in my life. It has started a process of evolution in me which I know the world will one day come to see. The CHOICES club for schools is a welcome idea.
