+Personal Connection

I have a sister with disabilities and I understand how difficult it is for the person with the disability and I also know how hard it is for the family.

I want be a special education teacher and work with children who have special needs.

I believe that the special Olympics is a great way for special needs children to experience joy and to demonstrate courage while interacting with other special Olympic athletes and the people in their community.

Specific Need in the CommunityThere are a lot of people in our community with special needs and intellectual disabilities

The special Olympics has all types of people including different race, culture, age, gender and background yet they all come together to celebrate what they have in common and to help those in need

Many of these people live lives of isolation and are socially excluded from full participation in schools or society

+Link to Critical Thinking and Critical Reading

The Special Olympics foundation develops and organizes sport teams with special needs people and determine what these people are capable of with their disability so they can help them grow and succeed

The foundation identifies and comprehends how the person with the disability feels and how the family feels so they can understand and provide support
