Week 5

Today I watched The Gabby Douglas Story. This movie shows her journey to the Olympics starting from when she was born to when she took home the gold medal at the 2012 London Olympic games. The journey there could be described in many different ways. There was times when she was excited that she learned a routine, but there was times where she just wanted to give up and go home. Gabby faced many hardships throughout it all. Some of the least thought of problems occurred such as money for the training. The journey left a mental and emotional effect on Gabby which changed her as a person. What got Gabby so far was her passion for gymnastics and determination to win the Olympics. Most athletes can relate to Gabby. I recommend everyone to watch this movie because it really shows you what it takes to be the best of the best.
