Gabriel is a sales and account manager at Lufthansa Technik Middle East. His stories reminded us that life is full of ups and downs and that no matter how deep the water goes, we have to keep swimming. His tenacity and staying power set him apart, and his mistakes make him human. In his pursuit to accomplish his dream of working in the aviation industry, he shared stories of living in a two-bedroom flat with 11 strangers in Dubai, how a Chinese older man stroked his beard, travelling without money, and the lessons that being broke taught him.
