Learn MoreWhy They Love Being a Student
Lara loves being a student because she is very fortunate to have great teachers who make learning fun. She also loves being a student because she is constantly learning more each day and loves meeting new people at school and seeing friends. She enjoys learning more about her interests and hobbies, and as she goes into high school she’s excited to be able to take more specialized classes towards what she loves, and her future education.
Favorite Subject & Why
Lara’s favorite school subject is math for a couple different reasons. Firstly, she loves math because she loves solving problems. She also loves that in math there is usually one correct answer to each individual problem. She loves math because it challenges her brain, building on concepts learned in each class. Lastly, she loves it because she loves connecting different patterns throughout problems.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
If my child received $20,000, she would then have money towards her goals to go to college to work in aviation. She would also love to experience more opportunities to attend camps offered in aviation. We have camps near us that would be such great experiences for her! She has seen her older sister work hard obtaining scholarships to go to school in the medical field and her older brother join the National Guard to pay for college. We encourage our kids to work hard to accomplish their dreams.
