He has an outgoing personality, good sense of humor and great attitude. He loves to learn and his enthusiasm is contagious. He grasps concepts quickly with a deeper understanding than my other students.”
Daniel’s physics and chemistry teacher commented “Dan has outstanding intelligence along with a tremendous curiosity and drive. He strives to be the best at everything he does. Dan has a love of science and math, as well as, a love of learning. Dan would make a great ambassador of your scholarship.”
