Sy, 20 years old, LA | NEEDED BY 08/15

Wish submitted by:

Sy faced numerous challenges while growing up, which forced him to mature earlier than most of his peers. Stability was not always guaranteed, and there were times when he had to navigate difficulties on his own with limited support. Despite these obstacles, Sy is a determined young man pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. His passion for engineering was inspired by the time he spent working on cars with his grandfather, whom he affectionately calls “Papa.” This experience instilled in him a deep respect for hard work. Sy has also overcome significant personal challenges, including childhood obesity. Through relentless dedication, he transformed his lifestyle and became a strong and athletic young man. In his rare moments of free time, Sy enjoys working out, shooting hoops, making music on his computer, and playing video games.

Sy is a mechanical engineering major at Southern University A&M in Louisiana. Although he is excited about returning to school, he is now facing the challenges of upper-division classes in his field. He finds it difficult to complete his 3D visualization assignments on his small laptop screen. Connecting a computer monitor to his laptop would greatly improve his ability to work on projects for his machine design and coding classes.
