Several of Brinley’s teachers have noted her hard work and passion for learning. She is an active and engaged participant in her classes. “Brinley is a shining light of enthusiasm, kindness, and accountability,” says her science teacher, Mrs. Walls. “She always volunteers to read, participates in our discussions, and even dances with me on video!”
Her math teacher, Mrs. Branch, is similarly effusive. “She stays on topic and is kind to her classmates,” says Mrs. Branch. “She takes her time on lessons and assessments and reaches out when needed.”
Brinley is not only a strong student, but a disciplined one. She makes sure to complete her schoolwork on time—or ahead of schedule—so she can enjoy her many activities outside of school. She is involved in Girl Scouts, enjoys horseback riding, and takes regular hikes with her mother.
