Fight for your dreams

I will write about a really special person who inspires me and a lot of other people around the world.

Gabby Douglas is an American gymnast. She has been training since she was 4 and now she is a member of the U.S.  Women's Gymnastics team. At the 2012 summer Olympic she won gold medals in both individuals all-around and team competitions also  Gabby is the first African-American gymnast in Olympic history who became individual all-around champion.

There is a book called Grace, Gold and Glory which tells her story of faith and determination, demonstrating you can reach your dreams if you let yourself sour . There is another book called Raising the bar which contains Gabby's training routine and she shares an inside look at her day-to-day world. She tells what it's like to be an Olympic champion and a normal teenager balancing a life in the spotlight with a life in the gym.  There is also a film about her whole story.

She became an Olympic champion at the age of 16. I think she is amazing, she was fighting for her dreams and now she is living them. She can be an example for  everyone. She teaches the whole world not to give up on something that you really want. This video shows her story. Yes, she made lots of mistakes but I think mistakes are not always bad she learnt from them and became who she is now , a role model!!!
