Be a Fan







A couple of weeks ago I received a letter from the Special Olympics congratulating me for being nominated for an award. The award I was nominated for is called Youth service Award. It is an award that is given to the most outstanding volunteer/coach ages 21 and younger, for being dedicated to the athletes and the mission of special olympics. There were 2 other coaches up for the award but unfortunately I did not get it. The boy who won had been volunteering for a lot longer than Me.




I was just honored to me nominated after one year! Coaching special olympics has a huge impact on my life and is the highlight of my day. I cannot wait for team handball to start and then I will coach basketball! I am so excited words cannot explain.
Here is a picture of me and one of my favorite athletes; Jenni!!


Jessica was my date for the banquet and it gave her an insight of what the special olympics truly means to me. She said she had a great time and now knows why I love it so much.
