She opens up about the people who stayed, the prayers that carried her, and the mindset shift that changed everything — moving from “I have to” to “I get to.” Now in college, Gabby reflects on changing majors, letting go of external validation, and discovering her true calling while working with elementary school students.

He reflects on moments where doors closed that he once prayed would open — including opportunities in music and entertainment — and how those setbacks ultimately became protection.
