Tuition for Benicio to Attend Lang Science Program

Donation protected
Hi my name is Benicio Perez I am an eleven year old from the South Bronx with a passion for science. I have always held a strong interest in science since I was young. My first love of science came through learning about dinosaurs. I found dinosaurs so fascinating and tried to learn everything that I could about them. As I continued to learn more about other areas of science I realized how scientists can make a difference in the world. Last year I learned about hydroponics and worked on a hydroponic garden in the school’s greenhouse. Learning about alternative ways of growing plants and how they can help communities really helped me grow my love of science even more.


This year when I started a new school, I was so excited to hear my science teacher recommend me for the Lang Science Program. The Lang Science Program, held at the American Museum of Natural History, is a 7 year hands-on science program that allows NYC students to explore a variety of sciences at the museum. I was honored to be chosen by my science teacher to apply for this program. She only recommends the program to two 5th graders who stand out through their exemplary work in science class. I immediately filled out the application with the help of my parents. I was so happy to learn at the end of the school year that I was accepted to the Lang Science Program. 


I was really excited because I believe that through this program I’ll be able to meet my full potential as a scientist and be able to meet other students like me who have a passion for science. The program will allow me to work with other kids who love science just as much as me. 

     

School hasn’t always been easy for me and I’ve worked really hard the last couple of years to do better and be better. After a long application process, it was awesome to know that I was one of 22 NYC students chosen for the Lang Science Program. Along with being accepted to the Lang Science Program at the end of this school year, I was finally able to make the Honor Roll at my school. I want to continue this journey and the opportunity to work with other students, educators and scientists through the Lang Science Program would be a life changer. 


This program starts in 6th grade and will continue through 12th grade. The cost of participation in the program each year is $3000. That would be a total of $21,000 for the duration of the 7 year program. This is pretty expensive and I want to help my parents the only way I can. They have supported me so much to excel in school and I want to make them proud. I want to help ease the cost of the program for my parents who I know really want me to have this opportunity to pursue my love of science.


I thought this fundraiser would be the best way I can help my parents and see how much I can raise on my own. I would be so grateful for any amount you can give so that I could participate in the Lang Science Program and help me continue my studies in science. It would be so appreciated and I thank you for taking the time to read this.


Thank you so much and God Bless you,


Benicio Perez
