When interviewed a few days ago Gabby Douglas was asked if she was surprised and nervous at how far she had made it and she said no because she had found strength in the bible. It’s funny because she was the only one to make reference to the word. It just goes to show that if and when you lift God up , he will lift you even higher for the world to see. Gabby Douglas : The first African American in Olympic history to become the individual all-around champion. And for all those who are so fixated on her hair…she’s only 16 and yet she has accomplished so much. What are you doing with your life? Nappy hair, straight hair, curly hair she is still a gold medalist . What are you? That is all. Shine on Gabby. Haters gon’ hate
