Every 4 years, we hold our National Games, its 5 days of sheer hard work, but very satisfying hard work when you see the happy faces of the athletes. Where athletes with various degrees of Intellectual Disability comes together to compete in the spirit of the Games' Oath - "Let me win, but if I cannot win, then let me be brave in the Attempt!!!" ... The oath that has been around ever since the 1st Special Olympics took place in 1968 initiated by Eunice Kennedy Shriver. Its not winning that is important but the opportunity of participating and the triumph of trying that is the focus. Its a game that I look forward to every 4 years..... one game that I will never miss..... one game that I work hard for...... It will be 5 days living in the Games Village. I'm hoping that we will have internet access. If not it will be 5 days without reading any QAF fics.... arggghh!!!.... not sure if I can survive that.... but in the spirit of the games, I am willing to go through QAF fics withdrawal symptoms for the sake of our athletes!!!..... anyway, am in the process of saving some of my fav fics in Word format so that I can still read some and won't have too painful withdrawals..... lol!!!.... Anyway, to anyone else out there who has ever been involved in Special Olympics in your country, hope you will keep on doing it..... and if not, get involve in one way or another...... I promise you its a rewarding experience!!!.... cheers! Tags: personal, special olympics Current Location: pink room Current Mood: happy
