A Jamesville fifth grader with a rare genetic skin disorder fights her pain with positivity and strength.

Molly Gibbons is not your ordinary fifth grader. She is intuitive, sarcastic, and if she thinks you are worth it, she will let you into her life.

The 11-year-old Jamesville girl has a personality bigger than her body will allow, a demeanor fit for someone 30 years her senior, and she's got the world eating out of the palm of her hand.

Molly has no fear; she has no time for it.

"She fights through the pain," Molly's mom, Tracie, said. "When everything else could be going so bad, she's the one laughing and smiling and loving life. It's really amazing."
