-Isaiah 40:31-

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will sour on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Special Olympics

Today, I got to volunteer with Special Olympics. I became really good friends with the people i worked with. I got to help them with bowling and got to learn about them and their stories. The people that i worked with were named Dawn, Jolina, Barbara, and Laura.  I felt more comfortable than i first thought i would be at the event, because I understood and could relate with them more because of having my own disabilty, Asperger's Syndrome. It was a great experience and through i learned alot more about ways of overcoming and i also learned about these women's struggles and their lifes. I saw that us(my group) being there at the event and the event itself lifted these people's spirits. This was a really moving experience that not only taught me more about struggles and overcoming but also resulted in many new friends. This experience was very special to me and i learned more about these people and possibly.....i think, i learned a little more about my self.
