Learn MoreWhy They Love Being a Student
I love being a student because school allows me to learn new things that I can use for my own projects. It's better than just searching it up because I get to actually interact with it before I actually use it. Learning has always been my fun.
Favorite Subject & Why
My favorite subject is math because I like using a lot of math concepts and they seem very interesting to me. They match my Interest in what I want to be when I grow up, which is an engineer. Currently I am taking double math classes.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
The $20,000 award will help me obtain more education after I finish some college during high school, towards a degree in robotics or mechatronics engineering.
