Sobre El Autor

Gabrielle Douglas is a two-time Olympic gold medalist. At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she made history, becoming the first US gymnast to take home a team and an individual gold medal in the same Olympics. Gabrielle began her training at age six, and became the Virginia State Champion only two years mostrar más later. When she was fourteen, she left her family in Virginia Beach to train with coach Liang Chow in Des Moines, Iowa. Under Chow's guidance, and with tremendous faith in God's plan for her, Gabrielle competed in the Olympic Trials and walked away with the only guaranteed spot on the team. Since her Olympic triumph, Gabrielle has used her platform to inspire millions with a powerful message: With hard work and persistence, any dream is possible.

Gabrielle Douglas did an exceptional job in writing her autobiography. The book begins with her childhood and how her and her family lived a very rough life. They started out living in their car and then living in and out of friends' homes, until her mother had had enough. Gaby's father and mother quickly divorced. Her mother did everything she could so her 4 children could have the best life possible. Gaby was a very athletic toddler. She would swing and flip off of everything. Her mother decided to put her in gymnastics. After that, her gymnastics career took off. The book follows her journey as a gymnast. Gaby dreamed of reaching the Olympics one day. Well, that day had finally come. She was on the United States 2012 Olympic Team. What a dream come true! Everything she had been dreaming of since she was 6 years old was right in front of her. Will she win? Will America place in the 2012 London Olympics? I highly recommend this book. It is a great read! Very inspiring!… (más)
