 Hello my name is Salma Oula and I'm the January student of the month for the DCL STEM Academy. I chose engineering as my CTE because in middle school I was part of a lot of clubs that talked about building new things and innovating new things and I wanted to learn more about it. Being chosen as student of the month felt like a shock to me at first but I understand now why I was chosen to represent my CTE and now I'm very grateful for it. After high school I plan on studying mechanical engineering in college. I like to participate in a lot of community service clubs such as the leaders emerging amongst peers and the student interact club. I also am part of two honor societies such as the world language honor society and the national honor society and I also like to participate in academic clubs such as the history club. I like to participate in religious activities in my local mosque as well as community service activities outside of school. A fun fact about myself is that I'm an aunt of three so I like to spend a long time playing with my nieces and nephews. I like to thank my family for always encouraging me to do my best and always push forward and I also would like to thank my friends for always helping me through struggles such as school work.
