Sport has helped me improve a lot. Before, I was quick to lose my temper and couldn’t communicate with the people around me, because I had speech problems. Today, I can control myself and my elocution is improving day by day. Doing sport with Special Olympics has enabled me to travel a lot and discover other countries; it has also helped me gain the respect of my neighbourhood. Before, people in my neighborhood used to make fun of me. But that’s all changed now, because I’ve become a champion, winning medals. Thanks to sport, I’ve become more independent and more responsible. I am now a Health Messenger and a volunteer at Special Olympics Senegal events. I take my responsibilities seriously and move forward. I am joyful every day!
