One would be hard-pressed to find someone who enjoys the journey of learning more than Michael Gableman. In all of his classes, as his classmates furiously scribble notes or navigate their way through a difficult problem, Michael works with a noticeable smile, appreciating the challenge and enjoying the ride. Yet, one might be even more hard-pressed to find someone as kind as Michael Gableman. His true character and thirst for knowledge are best summed up through a quote from Rousseau: “What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?” From this perspective, there is nobody wiser than Michael. He is unfailingly polite and positive in his interactions with those around him, brightening the days of those fortunate enough to see him in class or pass him in the hallways. For his love of learning and unparalleled kindness to those around him, Michael Gableman has been selected as our Senior of the Week, and based on what his teachers have said about him, we will be hearing much more about him for years to come. Thank you for all you’ve done for our Greendale High School community, Michael, and all the best in your future endeavors!
