Why They Love Being a Student

She has always loved to learn. She really likes to help the other students to understand when they don't quite get the material.

Favorite Subject & Why

My daughter loves to read and already writes stories of her own. She loves to write about her cat and his adventures. Science is her other favorite subject. She can't decide between the two.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

I'm a single mom and am going to school myself so I don't have alot of money to set aside for her future education. She's so smart that it hurts me to know it would be a waste for her not to have the opportunity to reach her full potential and it would be my fault. This money would be a big help for that.
