Ani Nishanian is an outstanding student and individual whom I had the privilege of teaching several years ago. She consistently excelled in every project she undertook, showcasing a passion for challenges and exceptional leadership skills. Ani's proficiency in mathematics led her to establish a tutoring club to assist fellow students who were struggling with the subject. She collaborated closely with teachers to identify learning objectives, develop engaging activities, and create comprehensive lesson plans for club members. Ani always prioritized the success and positive mindset of every student she worked with. That same year, she continued to push her limits in mathematics by earning numerous awards in Math Olympiad competitions.
During the same school year, Ani and her partner took part in a national competition sponsored by Jason Learning and ReMA. Their team achieved success by producing a PSA video highlighting the significance of recycling, which led to them winning a trip to the ReMA convention in Las Vegas to accept an award. Ani recently revisited the convention to participate in a youth leadership panel, where she shared her advocacy experience of promoting the use of recycled materials in roadways to lawmakers at the Capitol in Washington, DC.
On one of our visits to the Capitol, Ani demonstrated exceptional leadership qualities and dedication to environmental causes by engaging with lawmakers on the significance of recycling EV batteries. Her ability to inspire others towards positive change, whether through one-on-one math tutoring or advocating for sustainable practices, makes her a formidable force for good in the world. Ani's leadership serves as a source of inspiration for others to strive towards a brighter future, establishing her as a true catalyst for positive change.
