Laurie Hernandez – new book

In between celebrating her Olympic triumph, becoming a front-runner on the current season of Dancing with the Stars and continuing her high school education, gymnast Laurie Hernandez has written a book!

 “I hope I can help inspire people to go for their dreams,” the gold medalist, 16, tells PEOPLE of why she wanted to chronicle her journey from New Jersey to the Rio Olympics. “It was really fun to go down memory lane and reflect on how I got to where I am.”

The memoir, I Got This: To Gold and Beyond, won’t be released until January, but PEOPLE has an exclusive First Look at the book’s cover.
