Why They Love Being a Student

Oliver’s words: “Being a student is fun because I like making inventions. I’m a a fast learner and I’ve never been to space before. Learning helps me become a scientist and an astronaut”.

Favorite Subject & Why

Science is Oliver's favorite subject because: “I have always wanted to become a scientist”. I asked what he plans to do as a scientist, his response: “I don’t know yet, I have to figure it out”. What makes you want to become a scientist? “I like inventions and I’ve always wanted to make an invention that can help us get to space”.

How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Oliver has always been taught the importance of education. We aspirations of being an astronaut and two siblings currently at University, any amount that can be set aside early for Oliver’s future will be helpful.
