Why They Love Being a Student
I love to learn!
Favorite Subject & Why
I enjoy science the most because I want to be a scientist when I grow up and I really like learning new things and science teaches you the most. Then I really like PE because I like to get my energy out. I get to go outside and once I got to play in the snow for PE that was pretty cool. I also really like art because I just think it’s awesome because that’s where your creativity just does what it wants!
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
Gus has wanted to be a scientist since he could talk and when I asked him what he wanted to do with $20,000, he said to save it for college to be a scientist without hesitation. He has plans for a PhD and inspires his parents, little brother, and friends to think broadly everyday.
