Young Athletes Experience

Sometimes I realize that not only are opportunities out there, but they are a reasonable fit. With my background in volunteering with children, youth, and adolescents and with a lot of it in the category of individuals with differing abilities, the Young Athletes thing was an excellent fit for me. I thoroughly enjoyed working with a high-energy lanky lady who is beautiful inside and out and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the Special Olympics and understanding when kids were having issues (there really weren't many problems though.) Overall, there were many things I loved about it- registration went smoothly, the group picture went well, the camaraderie of Special Olympics that makes it special was there, and the help that was needed was done in a stupendous manner. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the kids and while I was exhausted afterwards, I cleaned up a bit. This experience will help me out in my career and the adaptability was done in a respectful manner with making it easier as well as making it to where they could grasp it. This was an interesting, fun, tiring, enjoyable, and exciting experience and I'm beyond glad to have had it and look forward to using this as ways to keep moving forward.
