You would think that Daniel would be the skinniest and smallest girl you’d ever see because of her poverty, but she wasn’t. She had a very low metabolism, causing her to gain an extra pound each time she took the tiniest bite of food.

Looking back now, I wish I had cared, and put the effort to make great grades. Infinity ECHS has a major impact on my life, and I have learned many things; time management, career opportunities, and, last but not least, Infinity has shown me that you can have work, but still have fun.

only through hard work from all Armys. Yet, Armys don't only support the 7 boys; they support each other, as well. I cannot begin to tell you how much my Army friends have helped me: they've encouraged me when I was down, motivated me with stories of BTS' own successes and soothed my sorrow with photos of the members.
