He loves all his subjects so much as well as music, art and PE. He is excited every day to start his school day and greets every person he sees as he enters. He knows everyone's name and engages with them and ask about their day. He reads everything he can and now is loving biographies with timelines of their life. He is also very good at math and loves helping others

He goes back and forth between reading and math because he loves learning about different countries and people and can memorize their "timeline" facts. He also enjoys his music class tremendously.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
Cillian has fine and large motor issues plus bilateral cataracts which make it a challenge for him to write out his assignments and to do small tasks like coloring or drawing. That money would help him with devices that could do this work.
