Why They Love Being a Student

Nikki loves to ask questions and learn. She was asking why to everything since she learned how to talk. She’s in second grade right now testing at 3rd grade level across all subjects and has started 4th grade reading. She’s always curious on how everything works and goes together.

Favorite Subject & Why

That’s a hard choice because she loves all subjects. If she had to choose it would be science and art. She loves to come up with creative ideas and predict what will happen. The cause and effects get her to asking so many questions. In her free time she loves to be artistic.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Nikki is unique, she was born with only 1 lung and her heart on the right side. She also has adhd and she continues to thrive every day excelling and not letting it hold her back. This year we put her in a small private school for her health and it also is designed for adhd kids. Shes thriving but it’s $4,050 a year. A $20,000 award can cover almost 5 years of schooling for her! If she continues this school for 9 years she gets free college and graduates with an associate's degree by 11th grade!
