Why They Love Being a Student
Frankie loves being a student in and outside of the classroom where her curiosity can run wild. Every day is a chance to ask big questions, discover new talents, and feel proud of her victories... She loves the friendships, the challenge of learning something new, and the excitement of realizing, “I can do this.” It has allowed her to feel capable, confident, and inspired for her future.
Favorite Subject & Why
She loves all of it but her favorite is reading, writing, and science because they do not feel like work to her but rather adventures. Reading/writing takes her to new worlds, while science lets her be a real-life explorer. She loves mixing, building, and testing ideas like a mini scientist discovering the world’s secrets. Her favorite words are “why and what if?” Frankie lights up when she gets to find the answers to her own curious questions & will usually always have a follow up question.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
