Q & A

What have you learned playing sports that you use in work/school/life?

Before I started Special Olympics, I had psychomotor problems, was shy, hid behind my parents, was too quiet and didn’t show my personality. Thanks to sport, I’ve learned to be more independent: I go shopping on my own, I help my parents with housework and I make my own bed. I go to judo on my own now. Today, sport has enabled me to make my own decisions, and I’ve become someone you can count on. Thanks to Special Olympics, I’m fulfilled, happy and helpful.
