Simone Biles AKA "Supergirl"

Has the full strength of a woman

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
