In less than two years, Gabrielle overcame two traumatic injuries. The first was an injury to her right (dominant) hand in middle school while playing volleyball. With her right hand in a cast, Gabrielle taught herself to write with her left hand and maintained her perfect 4.0 average. In her first few months of high school, Gabrielle dislocated her knee and spent months on crutches. She eventually had knee replacement surgery – followed by months of grueling physical therapy. Once again, Gabrielle maintained high honors and her extracurricular activities.

The world has an abundance of many things, except for kindness.
