Special Olympics
Today we went to help out with special olympic bowling. Yesterdeay I was thinking how this we would be I was saying you know what this is not going to be very fun just helping a bunch of people who are handicaped and can't do anything. The only reason I was looking forward to today was so skip the morning classes and get to eat out for lunch. Well was I wrong this morning when we got there I was still saying to myself this was not going to be fun even when the lady told me lane 4 i was mad. When I got to lane 3 I met the 2 women i would be helping and were they nice. They might not have said much but I could tell they were having a great time and so was I! All of the people who were there today were in such good sprits every single one of them was just so happy to be there even if they didn't know what they were doing they were so happy to be there. And i was very happy to hel[p after I got there it was fun to push the ball and line up the ramp to see how many strikes or spares I could help them get. Through this whole thing I was thanking God that He made me the way I am and I do not have a Handicap and I Take so many things that I can do forgranted such as walking talking reading etc...There were many people today that could not do any of that. Another thing I think we need to treat people who are handicaped better i was always a little scred of handicaped people but not after today once we started I did not even think about them being different and we should not look at them different just becuase they can't talk or cant walk we were all made by the same person just a little different. There are many things we can learn from these people also in many things I beleive if we tried as hard as they did today in Bowling then we might never loose a game of football.
