Read about Danielle Wright who has an eager curiosity for learning.
1) How can you characterize Danielle?
2) What qualities of character does she possess?
3) Are such young people as Danielle a rule or an exception nowadays?
Sometimes there is a student who is always seeking, wondering, and ex-
uding 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 YLLCHillside, 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 get- ting that hand as high as it can go with a wide, eager grin. Sometimes dif- ficult 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.
She makes friends easily with her outgoing personality and is always friendly toward everyone who comes to Youth Life Learning Centers. Seem- ingly contagious, Danielles enthusiasm for learning has rubbed off on some of her YLLCHillside friends. During Make a Major Difference last year, for example, Danielle had many questions for all of the Belmont stu- dents 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 its homework-re- lated 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!

Listen about dealing with emotions and write down the ways of dealing with them which are mentioned in the article.
HOW TO DEAL WITH EMOTIONS
Many people are never taught how to deal with their emotions. Because
they do not know how to deal with their emotions, they wind up repress-
ing their emotions instead. For people who have endured painful life situ-
ations, they can wind up engaging in unhealthy behaviors to avoid dealing with their emotions, such as by abusing substances or taking out their frus-
trations on the wrong person. Expressing emotions is the healthiest way to
release the pent up feelings.
Recognize the importance of dealing with emotions. Unexpressed emo-
tions affect your life. For example, many people who struggle with ongoing depression or anxiety are actually angry. Because the unexpressed anger
has nowhere to go, the person experiences the repressed anger as depres-
sion or anxiety. If you want to take control over your emotional life, you need to deal with your emotions instead of repressing them.
Label your emotions. Many people who have never learned how to deal with their emotions have a difficult time even identifying what those emo-
tions are. Some people might feel anger when the emotion that they are ac-
tually dealing with is pain. Others might cry and feel sad in situations in which anger is really the more appropriate emotion. Practice labeling each emotion that you are experiencing.
Decide to deal with your emotions as you have them. Emotions must be
expressed. You can either deal with your emotions as you have them, or you
can put a lot of energy into repressing them and just wind up having to deal with a more powerful version of your emotions later. Resolve to deal with your emotions as you experience them.
Recognize that expressed emotions do not last. If you will deal with your emotions as you have them, they will go away much faster. While you might feel incredibly angry in the moment, your anger will pass as long as you deal with it. Only repressed emotions linger for a very long time.
