Simone Biles AKA "Supergirl"
People

I stumbled across the balance beam placing one foot in front of the other until I reached the end. Relieved I finally made it to the end, I jumped and stuck the landing! Through my excitement, I remembered to throw my hands in the air and could see my parents clapping in the audience. This was the highlight of my gymnastics career, and at the age of six I was really proud of my accomplishments. However, even if I chose to stick with gymnastics I'm pretty sure I'd be nowhere near as good as the powerful Simone Biles.

If you haven't been keeping track of Biles throughout the Olympics here's what you missed: August 7th Biles scored 16.050 on the vault, 15.000 on the uneven bars, 15.633 on the balance beam and 15.733 on the floor exercise. She is truly incredible all around and her talent is something of the ages. On the 9th she won her first gold medal in the 2016 Rio Olympics with the highest scores on vault, balance beam, and floor. Slay Queen!!

In the past Biles has won gold for the American cup and the 2016 Pacific Rim Championships. She has an impressive gymnastics career and at the age of 19 has won 14 medals, 10 of which were gold, and is the first female to win 3 consecutive world all-around titles. This 4'8 beauty has the strength of a powerhouse and I am truly impressed with her work ethic and her humble attitude. Throughout the whole competition she has shown her sweet personality and never seems to crash under the pressure, and at this point, it seems the only person she's competing against is herself. I hope everyone is paying attention because she is truly making history and I'm more than glad that I am able to watch it.

This "supergirl" has proven to the whole world just how powerful she is. So if they ever make a Supergirl movie, they should highly consider Biles for the role.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
