Motivation After watching the story of Gabby Douglas life, am I allowed to start this topic with wow? While watching the Gabby Douglas story I laughed, I cried, I got angry, and then ended the movie with a smile. Gabby Douglas is a great example of someone pushing till you can’t push anymore. Now I know some are wondering why was I angry. I began to get angry because it looked like she was giving up on her dream. If Gabby would have given up she would not be where she is today. Through all the struggles her family went through, Gabby and her family never gave up. I love that Gabby never forgets the foundation in her life, her passion has made a big difference in girls life and she always kept God first. Gabby Douglas is the 1st African-American All Around Olympic Gold Medalist, 1st Female to win both AA & Team Gold Medals in the same Olympics, 2012 USA Olympian, 2011 USA World Team Member-Gold Medalist & Sr. Women Nat’l Team Member. To reach her goals were not easy but she made it. You can reach your goals. I encourage all girls to watch her movie tonight on lifetime, watch how this young lady did all she could to get to where she needed to get. I believe each reader could do that and more. There are going to be times your going to fall, struggle, and throw in the towel. You have to keep something in your mind… are you ready…. The secret to reaching your goal is to I encourage each of you to find that passion and run with it.. Most of all NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP
