Hola,

Tengo otra consulta relacionada con el mismo tema (transcripción de una entrevista relacionada con el campo de la educación)

Que seas capaz de transformar tu vida y el entorno, **que no solo seas un sujeto pasivo**, un sujeto que tenes buenas notas, que sos indiferente, necesitamos que sean personas realmente que puedan cuestionar su entorno y sean agentes de transformación para el bien.

spectator / onlooker


Explanation:
You could use something like this here, for example:

"That you are capable of transforming your life and your surroundings, that you are not just a spectator, someone who has good grades, who is indifferent..."

passive participant


Explanation:
Or "passive individual" as already suggested.

However, I'm not sure you'd want to repeat "participant" for the second use of "sujeto."
