Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!

Gabbie won the Rita Moreno award for best actress in Bay Area as a part of the Tri-School play Mathilda, where is was flown to New York for the award ceremony. Gabbie, who is always positive, and always so busy, always kept her appointments with me and consistently worked or her college essay writing. I am very happy that she was able to get into UC Irvine, where she will be studying theater and film. I believe she is one of the strongest and talented all around students, but also is just a sweet and kind person who is a great friend. She gave me a letter recently thanking me for all the work I did with her over the year. Throughout this, we had great discussions about life while exploring her essays - and I see her as a potential star in life.
