Special Olympics gave me a platform to be an advocate for myself and others. Inclusion is important to me because everyone gets to do what they love. Having a disability shouldn’t stop someone from being an important part of friendship, sports, school, or work. We can all use help at times, we all need to listen, and we all need to be heard. I want everyone to be respected and valued, and for everyone to have a voice. I am inspired by Tim Shriver’s words ‘Show the world what it looks like to lead from the heart’.
