She loved her classmates and they loved her right back.

As the first born of the Stanley clan; Gail set the bar high. Upon graduating from Lake Shore High School, Gail moved on to Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU). Because of Gail's love for children; she chose to major in elementary education.
