Becoming aware of my diversity was the key to my success. It wasn’t easy. but when the Special Olympics association, and family’s support. helped me and supported my journey. | had the opportunity to compare with the other guys who were like me but at the same time different in their way. It gave me strength and made me realise that being different doesn’t have to be something negative but something that makes me unique and special. | have therefore learned to accept and show myself with pride for what | am and what | can be, bringing me to make many new acquaintances and enriching my spirit step by step.
