My Profile
My name is Daniel and I was born and raised in Bethel, Alaska. I was among the first students in the start up of the Yup’ik Immersion Program. I was taught and “raised” in the Yup’ik culture for seven years. My bilingual upbringing helped me to advance quickly through high school, where I am a senior. I have been taking college courses at the Kuskokwim Campus for the past two years. My academic interests are in the Math and Science fields and have led me to contemplate engineering as a career choice. I want to go to Nunivak Island not just for the amazing experience, but also to further my scientific knowledge and to be able to apply it through the well-planned program they have established. I look forward to an immensely exciting three weeks filled with interesting classes, kayaking, and hiking trips and am grateful for the opportunity.

All of the profiles look great…keep up the good work.
Now that I know you were in immersion…we’re going to expect you to speak some Yup’ik…;-)

Daniel -
I got into Anchorage last night - infusion today. Overcast and raining here - hope Nunivak is sunnier and warmer. Craig says to stop feeding the mosquitos - hopefully they are not too voracious.
Mom and I left plenty of apples for you and Craig to thin at the senior Neths. You can have an all out war with all the apples you trim.
