He also loves math for this reason because each problem is a puzzle for him to solve. School fuels his curiosity and makes him excited to keep growing.
Favorite Subject & Why
Peter’s favorite subject is science. He’s endlessly curious, always asking “why,” “how,” and “when” about everything. From how planets form to why stars shine. His questions spark real research, hypothesis testing, and deep analysis; he challenges answers and demands to know more. It’s incredible watching him explore big ideas, even searching for answers about his own purpose. His passion for discovery shines through in every question he asks.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
A $20,000 award would powerfully support Peter's NASA dream by funding science & astronomy summer camps, STEM books/courses, and a quality beginner telescope for stargazing planets and stars. The rest would be saved for future university costs in astrophysics or aerospace engineering. This investment fuels his passion now and builds a strong foundation toward discovering new planets. His dream University is Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.
