The road Gabby Douglas followed to earn an Olympic title was not simple. She struggled and made sacrifices from a young age that would have seemed unthinkable to others her age. Gabby's family had to make difficult decisions to help her dream while she was growing up in Virginia as there were times of doubt, financial difficulty and great pressure. She was frequently away from home, training far from her family and occasionally she wondered if the struggles were worth it. Driven by her love of gymnastics and a strong will to realize her dreams, Gabby continued on however. Then at the 2012 London Olympics, Gabby's tenacity paid off rather brilliantly. She became the first African American woman to capture the gold medal in the individual all-around, therefore creating history. Her incredible triumph illuminated the globe and motivated millions of people to think that everything is attainable with diligence and fortitude regardless of background. Gabby's narrative reminds us strongly of the will required to follow a dream and the great benefits of never giving up. Anyone with great aspirations should read this book since it catches every emotional turn of her trip.
