"I gave to this project because a few years ago my mom asked that if anyone were going to give her anything for her birthday she wanted donations made to schools that needed help. Since then I have loved to give whenever I could afford it. I was a special needs student in elementary and high school. Since then I have studied very hard and am in college working on becoming a pilot. I know from first hand experience that anyone can go on to do whatever it is they want with enough effort and the proper support. "
