Learn MoreWhy They Love Being a Student
Damien has always been fascinated by the intricate things as well as broad spectrum ideas involving outer space all the way to why our body’s function with way they do. I think this desire to learn started at such an early age when he was able to start talking and would continue to always ask big picture “why” questions
Favorite Subject & Why
Damien’s favorite subject is math and science. Damien initially struggled with math, but once the feeling of achievement in learning multiplication began, now he try’s to be competitive with himself with knowing that growing on learning multiplication will help In The future with larger equation problems. I want to see him enjoy learning for as long as he can. I want to see him enjoy bill nye the science guy like I did as a kids and always made me happy to know how much fun science is!
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
My son loves to save. I’m teaching him the idea of spending a little on himself, charity and saving. Winning this reward would build on the need to be successful in putting it towards his college tuition, or to involve him in small camps for academics like space camp, or science camp. Regularly. I want him to continue to question the world and the universe on all these intricate facets of learning. He is our future, like many kids, and I just want to see my little guy go on to do great things!
