What does Special Olympics mean to me

What does Special Olympics mean to me? • Special Olympics means that I can show off my achievements and to share them with others. I want to show the world what people with disability can do. All I want is to be treated like any one else who doesn’t have a disability. Special Olympics have opened a few doors for me they gave me a chance to speak in prisons in Mount joy & Wheatfield. It means a lot to me because I want to become someone that people would look up to and to inspire them. Doing public speaking and to organize and participate in events which is great of me because I get to have the experience that I need. This is great because I want to become someone that people would notice me.

How does this affect my life • This affects my life in many ways: • It gave me a chance to speak in Mountjoy and in Wheatfield. • So I get to mix with people who have disabilities and people that don’t. • I love to mix with people who don’t have any disabilities.

• I also feel that exercise is very important and to have the right balance even with people who have disabilities find it more difficult to do this but keep in mind that you need to keep motivated and to be strong.
