Why They Love Being a Student

Favorite Subject & Why

Ari's favorite subjects are math and science. He likes math because there are concrete steps to a solution, and he enjoys layering prior learning onto new material. He likes science because there is so much to learn, and so much more that is unknown and can be explored.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

This award would help Ari pursue a goal of becoming a physicist by funding STEM camps, advanced math and science classes, and hands-on learning tools like science kits or a telescope. It could also support trips to science museums, competitions, or university programs. These experiences would build curiosity, skills, and confidence while creating a strong foundation for future study in physics.
