Why They Love Being a Student

My baby loves being a student because he truly enjoys learning and growing. He has always been curious, always asking questions and wanting to understand more about the world around him. School gives him a place to explore that curiosity and challenge himself in ways that make him proud. What I admire most is how much he cares. He takes his work seriously, but he also cares about the people around him. He enjoys being part of a classroom, building relationships, and leading.

Favorite Subject & Why

My child’s favorite subject is history because it allows him to understand the world beyond just the present moment. He is drawn to the stories, the people, and the decisions that have shaped where we are today. It gives him a deeper sense of perspective and helps him think critically about the future. He enjoys making connections between the past and current events, and he often brings those ideas into the home. What I love most is that history inspires him to think about leadership.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

want the very best for my baby. He has worked so hard for so long, and I see how much he seeks my validation. I cannot afford to put him through college, so this support would mean everything. My choices should not stand in the way of his dreams of attending Howard University or having the tools he needs, like a laptop for school and the graphic design work he loves.
