Learn MoreWhy They Love Being a Student
Drew loves being a student because learning feels like an adventure to him. He’s endlessly curious-always asking how things work, why they happen, and what might happen if you try something new. He devours books, loves experimenting, and gets excited when a new idea finally “clicks.” In the classroom, Drew brings energy, kindness, and encouragement for others. For him, school isn’t just a place to learn facts-it’s a place to explore, imagine, and discover something new every day!
Favorite Subject & Why
Drew loves all subjects, but he’s especially fascinated by science. He enjoys exploring how the world works, asking questions, testing ideas, and discovering new things through experiments and observation. Whether he’s reading about animals, learning how things move, or trying a simple experiment at home, science fuels his curiosity. For Drew, science isn’t just a subject - it’s a chance to wonder, explore, and better understand the world around him.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
Drew’s curiosity about the world is constant-he’s always asking questions, reading, experimenting, and imagining what’s possible. A $20,000 award would support enrichment opportunities now, from books to hands-on learning experiences that help his curiosity grow. Just as importantly, it would help invest in his future higher education, giving him the chance to pursue his dreams, keep asking big questions, and turn his love of learning into meaningful contributions to the world.
