Kyla Gronau's dining room is stacked floor to ceiling with cartoons of Girl Scout cookies in Minneapolis.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports: Kyla has certainly earned the "Cookie Diva" patch on her vest: The North Minneapolis girl sold 3,806 boxes of Girl Scout cookies last year, making her the top seller among nearly 45,000 girls in the three states and 49 counties that make up the local council, the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin River Valleys.

But it's not only the incentive of a trip to Ireland that motives Kyla, nor is it the team behind her (her parents, who met while selling shoes). Kyla has cerebral palsy, and she believes it has influenced how others see her.

The story continues: "I want to be looked up to. All my life, I've been down here," she said, pointing down. "All my life, I've wanted to be up here (pointing up). I feel people have looked down on me because of who I am. Now, girls want their pictures taken with me."
