Based on the fact that the student is pursuing STEM education, the most appropriate inference would be:

The student is curious about the world and likes to investigate how things work within it.

This inference aligns with the nature of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields, which often involve exploration, problem-solving, and a desire to understand the underlying principles of various phenomena. The other options suggest discomfort or an aversion to math and science, which would be unlikely for someone actively seeking a STEM education.
