Why They Love Being a Student

Maia has had a natural bond with learning her whole life. It doesn’t matter if a subject challenging or quite simple. She enjoys the process equally. She especially loves learning around her peers and helping out if need be. Being a student isn't what Maia only loves. A lot of students wake up for school every single day, not many do it with extreme positivity and a huge smile on their face like Maia.

Favorite Subject & Why

Maia’s favorite subject in school is engineering. She enjoys building and creating from scratch. Starting with making magnificent bracelets from a young age to making codes for programing various projects that she has hand made. Maia has always had a natural gift for engineering. Civics comes in in at a close 2nd as she has performed especially well with a natural ability to understand the complex structure of our governmental body. Very proud of my daughter!

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Maia has always had great expectations of herself but only through hard word. I belive this award would be able to help Maia become unstoppable in the pursuit of what it is to being a top notch student. Words would not be able explain explain the smile that would go across Maias face if she found out she won ANY amount of ANY reward of ANY tier because thats just who she is. Even phd engineers would have trouble figuring out how a smile so wide is possible. Maia is a top contender for America's
