Danielle Arikawa is 3rd generation Japanese American. She was born in South Carolina to a half-Japanese mother and an American father in the Navy. She spent most of her life moving every few years - from Florida to Maine. Her father was stationed at small bases where they were the only Japanese in the area. She learned what it was like growing up different than the other families. Danielle is currently a home schooled 17 year old, but she plans to attend college to be a veterinarian.
