Why They Love Being a Student

Felix genuinely loves learning and enjoys school. He sees the world with an open mind and heart that is fed by his endless curiosity. He’s fortunate that he was able to attend a STEM magnet school that encourages him at every turn. He’s surrounded by amazing teachers who constantly lift him up.

Favorite Subject & Why

Felix has always loved Science. He is fascinated by the world around him and is always asking questions. Why does this happen? How does that work? When that occurs how do we measure that? Boundless energy.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Any award would allow Felix to participate in learning opportunities outside of the classroom and allow him to include his classmates to raise their knowledge collectively. Felix believes that learning is transformational but that the best learning happens when friends are involved. “School is better with friends.”
