Abel Baxley is a first-grader at Bulls Gap Elementary and Middle School. Natalia Petosa is his friend and classmate. Abel helps Natalia every school day.

    Natalia is ill. She can’t walk well because of that. She moves with the help of the wheelchair(轮椅). To make sure Natalia can move safely (安全地), Abel sweeps the gravel (砾石) off the road leading to the playground.

    Natalia’s mother, April Catherman, thanks Abel for what he does. “It makes me feel very happy. He always sweeps the rocks up for her,” Catherman said, “to make sure she gets to and from the playground safely.”
