Dakota Hansen

I am a Senior at Copper Hills High School. I have one sister, and come from a single parent family home. I also participate in the arts like Band and Marching Band. I'm also in Band Council at school as the Librarian. I also decided to join Marching Band. It takes very long hours of practices to perform the show and a lot of competitions to perform at. I've done three seasons of Marching Band and I still love it. I was born with Neurofibromatosis Type 1, which causes tumors at the end of my nerves. It also causes learning disabilities; I have struggled in school. I'm in special education classes at school for Language Arts and Math. Even though I have Neurofibromatosis, I'm not going to let that stop me and I would like to go to college to continue my studies. I hope to study in animal or plant sciences.
