“I’m proud of the fact that I have managed to do more than people told my mom I would ever be able to do. Getting into college was probably my proudest accomplishment and Special Olympics has helped me build my confidence and learn new sports. My mom raised me to be strong and independent and that is why I have been able to do what I do.”

“Special Olympics is my life. I moved from an extremely anxious, insecure individual to a young woman who found a ‘home’ with Special Olympics. Growing up, I was excluded and was unable to understand even basic things about how the world works. I attended a number of different schools and was extremely awkward physically until I found that, with coaching from Special Olympics, I could succeed. My medals are precious.”
