Why They Love Being a Student

Alistair loves to learn. Since he was two years old hes loved numbers and math. Since he started 1st grade this last fall hes loved learning even more. He brings home books from the library, stories abiut his day at school and loves to help his classmates. Hes incredibly kind and loves to congratulate anyone on doing their best. Alistair loves being a student because he gets to grow daily and share his love of learning with others.

Favorite Subject & Why

Alistair loves math the most but really enjoys science as well. He has always loved numbers and could count to 1000 before he was 3. One of his favorite things to do is play with a whiteboard and make up equations for his family to solve. Math is just a complicated language he understands completely.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

For one I could afford to send him to a stem school here in New Mexico but I could also send him to space camp when hes older. However I would put most of it into a collage savings fund so he could, hopefully, attend whatever collage he wants to.
