Gabrielle Douglas



Gabrielle Douglas

     Who's a woman that you look up to? Is it your mom, someone famous, or a regular woman who works in a store? Why do you look up to that woman, and how does she inspire you?  The month of March is, Women Appreciation Month. This month celebrates the significance of women, and their accomplishments.  Take Gabrielle Douglas, also known as Gabby, as an example.  Gabby is a two-time gold medal Olympian in gymnastics.  Gabby Douglas was the first African-American gymnast to claim gymnastics’ biggest prize, “The All-Around Olympic Title.”  Gabby has also earned, female athlete of 2012, from her inspiring accomplishments.  Before becoming and actual Olympian, Gabby started her journey at age 6. Her desire to be in the Olympics grew more and more, and she finally moved to Iowa to train for the Olympics.  Gabby worked very hard, and she finally succeeded.  Gabrielle Douglas quotes, “Everything is possible, you just need to go out there and fight.  If you have the dream, just go out there and don’t be scared.  Always be courageous and strong, and don’t fear.  Anything is possible if you put your mind to it.”  Following your dreams, just like Gabrielle Douglas, will definitely lead you to success, and will get to you to experience many opportunities.
