Rori's Story

My passion is science.

The Cooper Union STEM Program would give me insight into both science and engineering. A stockpile of knowledge is what I will need in my future profession as a scientist and this program will aid in that endeavor. The most influential and creative inventions are created when two or more fields of science merge. It is only a matter of creativity and knowledge. This summer program will aid me in my life's passion.

A Note from Mrs. Blake, Rori's Teacher

Rori is the ideal candidate for the Cooper Union Summer STEM Program. He would benefit tremendously from this rigorous STEM program and would offer unparalleled intellectual enthusiasm to the cohort. His passion for science and technology would be the perfect match for Cooper Union. I am confident that Rori will be a strong student because of his outstanding academic performance in high school.

Thank You

I really want to thank you all for donating to my campaign and making this dream of mine a reality. I really enjoyed my summer program at Cooper Union, and I learned more about genetic engineering in a few weeks than I would in AP Biology in a whole year. Now, I have absolutely no doubt in my future career path - I will become a microbiologist. Now I know the basics of what I will within my career, and all the possibilities that lie ahead. I even have an idea for what I can do for my AP Research project this year. Thank you all for making this possible.

Acceptance

Hello everyone, thank you all for donating to me; I truly appreciate this opportunity to learn more about genetic engineering and other fields of science not restricted to biology. I look forward to this program, so I would just like to thank you again. I will enjoy this. I will learn from this, so I'll be going one step closer to my goal because of all of you.
