Why They Love Being a Student

Being educated and becoming a part of the workforce has always been a long-term goal for Hayden. She thrives on seeing progress and pushing herself to be the best student she can be. For her, being a student is a part of this journey. At this point in her life, she is about to embark on the next level of this goal by going to college. Graduating high school is not a stopping point but a steppingstone for her. She loves to make connections and get to know people and being a student gives her that

Favorite Subject & Why

Hayden’s favorite subject is English, specifically literature and writing. She has loved to read and write since she was a toddler! She had volunteered at the library over the summer too. She chose to take APclasses because those were the ones that had summer reading and more opportunities to write. She loves to write essays that allow her to express her passions, feelings and thoughts. Her way with words and connection with others is strong. We know she is capable of great things through this!

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

$20,000 would be an amazing gift for Hayden. She has dreams of education beyond a bachelors degree. She has many goals and aspirations and we would love for her not to have a financial burden while she’s pursuing these dreams. The real world is hard enough without students having to work full-time jobs to pay for college while they are in it. Every bit helps and we’d love that for her!
