Why They Love Being a Student

School is his favorite place to be. He gets to learn new things every day and practice subjects he has already mastered.

Favorite Subject & Why

DJ loves science! He is currently learning about the solar system and loves learning all the little facts. From Jupiter having 97 moons to reminding his parents that Pluto is now a dwarf planet.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

His ultimate goal is to go to space camp. If DJ were to win the grand prize, we would be able to send him there and make his dreams come true. Anything extra would go towards higher educational goals.
