When Danielle first enrolled at Huntington in Eastchester, NY, she was very quiet and shy, but she was determined to get the grade she wanted. Her confidence was low and it came across in her work. Danielle was so depleted from others telling her she wasn't good at things that she held herself back.

A self-starter, Danielle scheduled her own academic evaluation at Huntington, and thereafter she came to every session overly prepared. She wanted to get everything that she could out of each session. The more Danielle worked with her teachers, the more confidence she developed. Danielle is an amazing writer but because she was comparing her grades to others', she did not realize it.

Once it was time for Danielle to take her test she had come a long way. She felt that as long as she did her best, that's what mattered. Danielle came to Huntington as a very introverted girl with no self-confidence and transformed into a student capable of sharing her accomplishments and accepting herself for who she is.
