Abby is an enthusiastic dedicated advocate for equality and against ableism, especially for youth with special needs. She applauds the fact that her school supports the inclusion of students with a variety of needs in general education classes. Beyond the warm friendships gained through volunteerism she appreciated the opportunity to serve with Young Life’s Capernaum program as a summer camp counselor for special needs youth. Being a volunteer has taught Abby that she has much more to gain than give. Her leadership abilities have led her to be named as a Group Leader for Capernaum where she assists in facilitating planning and facilitating events.
Favorite MLK quote is: “The time is always right to do the right thing.”
Future Plans: After attending FSU, defending human rights by serving in U. S. Embassies throughout the world is Abby’s goal.
