Student Spotlights: Spotlight On Our Student Jasmin

Friday, 05 February 2021

This week, we spotlight our ninth-grader Jasmin, who joined ISR in grade 7. She is a hardworking, ambitious, and intelligent young woman who is currently researching future studies in the areas of Psychology, Politics, Law, and Economics. In addition to her academic studies, she is also the Deputy Head of the Activities Department in the Student Life Organization. This year she has directed her team of prefects to help the community celebrate Halloween, organize a Christmas Market for students, and create fun challenges that we can participate in while learning from home.

Jasmin has a tremendous work ethic and constantly strives to enrich her knowledge. Not only that, but she participates in all discussions and is self-driven but works equally well within a group. She is now reading challenging articles from The Guardian not only to improve her English skills but to be more aware of what is going in the world around her. Jasmin shows a great sense of responsibility and runs a successful booster session on Mondays to support other students. She takes her role there very seriously and likes to support her classmates.  Her teacher, Mr. McGee, says about her ”Her natural inquisitiveness in history class shows a genuine interest in the subject and is helpful to her peers. She always shows her interest through questions about the content and structure of the course. Despite her proficiency in the subject, which she has already consistently shown, she is always challenging herself to improve and to know more about the subject and how to approach the challenging IGCSE question style. The course asks a lot of students, and she is meeting or exceeding all expectations.”

Jasmin is incredibly dedicated and her teachers are absolutely convinced by her. Jasmin’s Spanish teacher, Ms. Hautz, confirms this, and finally adds “She always enriches the lesson with questions that go beyond the surface, as she is really interested and learning Spanish. Well done!”

We are very proud to spotlight Jasmin one of ISR’s many outstanding students!
