Gabby Marshall is a member of the class of 2026 at The Steward School in Richmond Virginia. She is a part of the varsity tennis team and loves to dance in her spare time. Her passion for writing started in the third grade and has never stopped. She recently placed top three in the nation for her inaugural poem and her most recent vignette was inspired by that.
“They gave me a task. A mission./Create a story, they said/That was all it took.”
