Why They Love Being a Student

Mikey has a love of learning and has a very inquisitive mind. He is extremely goal oriented and loves surpassing his own expectations.

Favorite Subject & Why

Mikey’s favorite subject is math. He has been able to complete math problems well above his age level since he was just 3 years old. Mikey participated in a NYS Math competition and loved the challenge aspect it added to learning. This year Mikey played the lead in his school production of Shrek The Musical (Kids)!

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Mikey has big dreams of attending an Ivy League school, with Harvard being at the top of his list. At just 11 years old he has set some massive goals for himself and we know he has the potential to achieve whatever he puts his mind to! If Mikey were to win, the $20,000 would be put away to be used towards his future educational tuitions.
