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.
