D’Rijah Smith started doing gymnastics 4 years ago.
The sport has empowered her and made her more confident to try and make mistakes.
“If you want to try it, go ahead - don’t be afraid,” she said.
“If you don’t get it the first time, keep trying, and you’ll be able to get it,” Smith said.
She gets excited watching her new hero Douglas,
“I look at her as a role model; she’s really good.”

“Some of these kids have some big dreams - they want to be the next Gabby Douglas,
the next Jordan Wieber, the next Aly Raisman,”
Aim High Academy's Founder and Director Jennifer Patterson said.
“You know it has motivated them - it has inspired them.”
