Jahmir loves being a student because learning fuels his passion for knowledge. He enjoys discovering new ideas, expanding his mind, and sharing what he learns with others. With the encouragement of an amazing teacher, school helps him grow, make friends, and move closer to his dream of studying space and using knowledge to make a difference.
Favorite Subject & Why
Science is my son's favorite subject because it lets him explore the mysteries of both the ocean and space. He loves learning about how marine life survives and how ecosystems work together. He is equally fascinated by planets and galaxies beyond our solar system and the possibility of life elsewhere. What excites him most is that there is still so much left to discover, and he hopes to be part of those discoveries one day.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
A $20,000 award would help support my son's path toward college and his dream of studying space. It would provide opportunities to attend STEAM camps, summer programs, and educational events that nurture his love of science. It would also allow him to visit cultural institutions, like museums and planetariums, where he can continue exploring, learning, and growing as a future scientist.
