This year my country, Greece, is going to host the Special Olympics! I am too proud for that, so I will be a volunteer this summer, with my best friend! It will be one of the most unique experiences I'll ever have! I've never done something similar before and I must admit that at first I hesitated but after an athlete of Special Olympics came to our school and talked to us I changed my mind! Not because I pitied them , but because I would really like to be a part of these whole puzzle in order to help and show my care towards these people.
I believe their doing something really special, they transform what others believe is a difficulty or a flaw, into something that they can receive pleasure and happiness.Being around a girl like Olga, one of the athletes, made me realize that they don't differ from us as much as I thought. They express their feelings, they discuss about things they like, they do things they like, they simply need some help and support... I am more than happy, words can't explain the way I feel about that choice, I hope many of you will join us this summer!:)
