Many people didn't know who Alexa Moreno was before the olympics. After last week everyone would now the name of the 22-year-old gymnasts from Mexico competing in the Rio 2016. Moreno was made fun of on social media because of her body.

Down below are some of tweets that were made about her.

"Rare Images of Alexa Moreno finishing her gymnastic routine."

"Alexa Moreno has the body of two gymnastics together, a diet before going to olympics would have been nice."

What many of the Alexa haters do not know is that this gymnast is that she just weighs 99 pounds. Alexa is a proud standing 4'11. Which is a healthy weight level for someone that height.

According to Buzzfeed the Mexican olympic team rarely does not compete in that gymnastic category. On top of that Alexa came out in the 12th place out of 54 other women.

Not many people can say that they have competed in the olympics. And less can say especially can't say they have done it at the age of 22-yearso-ld.

Not only has Alexa shown the world her abilities on floor but she also taught young women that they do not need to look like everyone else. She taught us that everyone comes in their own shape and size no matter what activity.

More than anyone 90 percent of girls between the ages of 15- 17-years-old would change one thing from their body appearances and changing body weight has ranked the highest. This is a growing issue happening around the world. Where women have to fit a certain body weight and shape.

We need more women like this that are confadiant and secure about their bodies like Alexa Moreno.

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.
