This month’s Smile forward spotlight, Violet Sanders, is a little cutie with a big personality! As a little girl, Violet is very passionate about the things she loves.  We enjoy having her in our office each month and hearing her talk about the things she is passionate about. She is a great representation of what it means to Smile forward, and we know she will continue to accomplish the things she sets her mind to.

We have had the privilege of having Violet as a patient of ours at a very young age, with the opportunity to watch her grow. Miss Violet is 10 years old, and full of so much spunk! She currently attends a dual immersion Spanish school and has been learning Spanish for five years. Violet’s mom described her as a ” very proud self-proclaimed geek” because she loves, LOVES, science! She has always excelled beyond her limits in school, and is a very quick learner. When she isn’t busy in school, she enjoys playing soccer, going on hikes, and riding her bike. One of our most favorite qualities about Violet is her huge heart. She has such an endearing love and interest for the elderly and those with disabilities. One time, we asked Violet to write an essay about her teacher. With her essay, she gave us the most adorable hand-drawn picture of her teacher with reasons why she loved him. Violet’s mom noted that she does that for everybody. Whether she sees people from a distance, or knows people personally, she loves to draw portraits and cards for those that have touched her heart.

Violet is also the best big sister to her siblings and takes pride in protecting and teaching them. I think we all have a thing or two to learn from Miss Violet, and we are so lucky to have her as a patient of ours!

Violet, thank you for Smiling forward.
