Why They Love Being a Student
I love being a student because I enjoy learning how the world works and asking questions about things most people overlook. School gives me the chance to explore science through experiments, labs, and research. I enjoy challenging myself and learning new ideas, especially when they help me better understand the world around me and how science can help people.
Favorite Subject & Why
My favourite subject is chemistry and physics because I like learning how things work on a scientific level. I enjoy understanding reactions, energy, and the laws that explain the world around us. I’ve attended a few college lectures and participated in science fairs, which made me even more interested in scientific research and pursuing a future in forensic pathology.
How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
A $20,000 award would help me continue my education and pursue my goal of becoming a forensic pathologist. My family lives below the poverty line, so this support would help cover tuition, housing, and other academic costs. It would allow me to focus on my studies and research so I can work toward advancing science and helping give families answers and closure.
