Why They Love Being a Student
Makaio loves being a student because he enjoys exploring life’s curiosities. Since a very young age Makaio has always been the “Why” kid. He has a knack for comparing life to games and technology which gives him a very unique perspective to problem solving.
Favorite Subject & Why
Makaio’s favorite subjects are Math and Science. Makaio states that he likes math because it’s easy to him and he enjoys science because he gets to experiment. Ultimately I believe he enjoys both because they require piecing things together like a puzzle. With Math I have to explain to Makaio that he needs to show his work and Makaio’s response is always “ I did it in my head” . Lol
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
Makaio is currently in virtual school. The $20,000 award would help us navigate Makaio into more extra curriculum activities that boost his brain power and aid in experience. As a mother who invest in all of her kid’s education, I know that book smarts and experience go hand and hand , and that you can’t have one without the other. I would hope this $20,000 opens new opportunities for Makaio; opportunities that lead him to his highest potential.
