Personal Narrative: Danielle Nash
"Before death I hope to obtain life." This quote reminds me of my Michigan Hero Danielle Nash. Danielle was my cousin who was diagnosed with stage four Melanoma and Brain Cancer at age 26.

Danielle was a one of a kind person, and anyone who had the opportunity to have her as a teacher was lucky. She loved kids and her job, and inspired me with what I want to do with my
