Why They Love Being a Student

Artie loves being a student because learning fills him with excitement and wonder. He’s always asking how things work, how things are made, and why the world is the way it is. His curiosity inspires those around him, and his kindness makes him a great friend. For him, school is a place to explore, grow, and help others discover the joy of learning too. Artie also loves volunteering to read to the Pre-K students, sharing his love of books and helping younger kids discover the joy of learning.

Favorite Subject & Why

Math is Artie’s favorite subject because numbers are the same everywhere in the world—they’re a universal language that connects people across countries and cultures. He loves working with numbers and figuring out how problems fit together. Challenging math problems excite him, and he enjoys the feeling of solving something step by step. For Artie, math is like a puzzle that helps him understand the world and pushes him to keep thinking, learning, and growing.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

A $20,000 award would be deposited into Artie’s 529 college savings account to help support his future education goals of becoming a teacher. He hopes to one day share his love of learning and curiosity with future students. This award would help make that dream more attainable by easing the financial burden of college and allowing him to focus on reaching his goal of inspiring the next generation to love learning just as much as he does.
