How has Special Olympics changed your life? Special Olympics I believe made me who I am today. Special Olympics allowed me to learn, grow and compete with others who are disabled. I am so blessed in so many ways for example; with meeting many coaches, athletes, meeting new friends. I cannot forget about all the love and support from my community, family and friends.
What does attending USA Games mean to you? I think that I will have a fantastic time competing and meeting new friends, coaches and athletes.
