Why They Love Being a Student

"Because it gets me closer to my goals of being an astronaut and keeps me from being bored. Being a student is what showed me what I wanted to do when I grow up. Without that learning inspiring me I wouldn't be this determined."

Favorite Subject & Why

"Math is my favorite because we use math for everything. Math is just fun for me. Science is second. I like it because it's interesting and there is always something new to learn."

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Elliott has had his heart set on University of Alabama to be able to attend UASpace. Tuition for OUT of state students per year is about $34,000. As a single parent, who will do everything possible to support my kids' dreams, $20,000 would really get a head start on that savings towards tuition!
