Meet Danielle Asato
Pursuing a degree in elementary education.
"A lot has changed in my life since coming to Assets in the 7th grade," says Danielle. Danielle who is dyslexic explains that she struggled in her old school and was bullied by other students because of her learning difference. Since coming to Assets, she has thrived in the classroom, in sports, in leadership roles and through her mentorship experiences. Danielle goes on to say, "Assets really changed me from a shy student who lacked confidence into President of my class for my junior and senior year." During her senior year, Danielle's mentorship at the Children's Discovery Center deepened her passion for working with children. She will continue working with their summer camp program this summer until she leaves for college at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA where she intends to study elementary education with a minor in special education. Danielle's life was transformed through Assets and she intends to study to be equipped to transform the lives of others-truly a captivating transformation.
