About me

Hi, I'm Daniel, an 8th grader at JLS Middle School in Palo Alto.

My favorite ways to spend my time outside of school are golf, art, and reading. On the golf course, I’ve learned the importance of focus, precision, and staying calm under pressure. Every shot requires careful attention, and even small improvements come from consistent practice.

Away from the course, I enjoy expressing myself through art and getting lost for hours in a good book. Both art and reading challenge me to slow down and see things from new perspectives. Each of these hobbies, in its own way, has taught me the same lesson: real growth comes from patience, dedication, and a willingness to keep learning.
