Sometimes there is a student who is always seeking, wondering, and exuding a very curious nature. This student will typically go out of their way to uncover an unresolved answer and will crave more information. He or she simply loves the art of learning and will never stop seeking understanding. For YLLC-Hillside, that student is Julia Green Elementary School third-grader, Danielle Wright. In most scenarios, you can find Danielle raising her hand to ask a question, in such a way as to put her whole body into getting that hand as high as it can go with a wide, eager grin. Sometimes difficult to stay seated, she throws herself into learning as much as possible! In fact, she was thrilled when Mr. Grubb donated iPads, as they have allowed her to explore new areas of learning with her great, curious spirit.
As outgoing as she is, it is no wonder that Danielle not only loves to dance and sing, but also possesses a soft, caring side shown in her desire to someday become a veterinarian. Moreover, her YLLC teacher describes her as “polite and inquisitive.”
Danielle Wright, pictured in pink, is asking Belmont student all about nursing at "Make a Major Difference."
She makes friends easily with her outgoing personality and is always friendly toward everyone who comes to Youth Life Learning Centers. Seemingly contagious, Danielle’s enthusiasm for learning has rubbed off on some of her YLLC-Hillside friends. During “Make a Major Difference” last year, for example, Danielle had many questions for all of the Belmont students that came to talk about their major. She wanted to know how things worked, what they studied, and what she would need to fill their shoes. This allows teachers, visitors, volunteers and donors to see their influence first hand and answer any questions she may have, whether it’s homework-related or not.
Genuinely grateful for opportunities given to her, she would like to personally thank all volunteers and donors for helping her at Youth Life. Her grades have improved with their help!
