Why They Love Being a Student

He loves to learn new things. He finds almost anything interesting and often wants to learn more about a subject after he is finished with his required work. He also loves the social aspect of school and enjoys making his classmates and teachers laugh.

Favorite Subject & Why

When asked, he said history and science. He likes to learn about all the important people and events in history. And science because he likes seeing how things work and doing experiments.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

I would invest the money in our states college fund program. Its like a savings account where the money is invested and can gain interest. Hopefully, it will assist with paying for any school he would want to attend. Although he has had many different answers to "What do you wanna be when you grow up", over the years, he currently wants to go into computer graphics and illustrate books, video games or comics.
