Why They Love Being a Student

He gets to learn things he didn’t know before. School gives him the opportunity to discover new ideas and skills every day which keeps him curious and excited about learning. He also enjoys meeting new people, making friends, and building connections with others.

Favorite Subject & Why

If he had to choose, his favorite subject would be science. He loves figuring out how things work and is always asking questions about the world around him. He enjoys inventing, experimenting, and thinking about new ideas. Science gives him the chance to explore his curiosity and learn about people who create, discover, and work to make the world a better place.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

A $20,000 award would support my child’s goals because he dreams big. Maxx hopes to one day attend a school like Stanford or MIT to study robotics. This award would go straight into his savings to help him work toward that goal. He already talks about wanting whatever he does in life to have a positive impact on the world and support like this would help him keep believing those dreams are possible.
