A 13 year old, Gabriela Gonzalez, had her 13 birthday 2 months ago and wished for a sail boat the size of a hotel you see in New York. Her mom didn't want to get it for her because she is not much of a sailor more of a drama teacher, because that's what she teaches, drama. Gabriela, instead of wishing for different things, each year for the past 6 years, all she wanted was to have this sail boat and sail away into the sunset. Her mom was worried when Gabriela told her this because, her mom didn't want to lose her daughter, again... Gabriela did have an older sister, but she got into a car rec from this drunk guy driving who drove straight into her! Gabriela like I said, does have different passions and goals than her mother. Her mother didn't know why she had a different passion than her since she has been trying to get her to do drama for decades. She jokes around saying that Gabriela isn't her real daughter, although Gabriela thinks she is joking, her mom isn't quite sure...
