Reading Response to Andrea Elliot’s “Invisible Child”

Reading the article of the invisible child, Dasani, the part of a side evaluation of Dasani’s intelligence from her teacher, Mckinney, stood out the most for me.

Dasani possesses what adults at McKinney consider an intuitive approach to learning, the kind that comes when rare smarts combine with extreme life circumstances. Her intelligence is “uncanny” and “far surpasses peers her age,” one counselor writes. “Student is continuously using critical analysis to reflect upon situations and interactions.”

Dasani is a beautiful, smart but spends her most childhood in a poor situation girl. She is only 10 years old, but she needs to take care of her big family. Can not imagine what sort of trouble things in every day a 10 years old girl has to think about.  In terms of her case, there are hundreds of thousand children like her living out there in this world, different areas and different countries, so I cannot imagine how many smart children like Dasani we are losing invisibly. Children are very important for every one of them has a unique and beautiful soul. We should do everything we could to help them, to help them become what they should be.
