"i am a student" vs "I am an student"

The correct phrase is 'I am a student.' The article 'a' is used before words that begin with a consonant sound, while 'an' is used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Since 'student' starts with a consonant sound ('st' sound), 'a' is the correct choice.
