On Saturday June 20, 2010, I attended the Special Olympics Summer Games held at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I was so excited for this day to come because I had attended the Winter Games and stayed in contact with several of the athletes as well as some of their families. If you read back to the post that I had wrote during the Dance that took place at the Winter Games, I spoke about a young man by the name of John who had brought me on stage to dance with him. When I arrived at the Summer Games, his father came up to me and said, "Hi, I am not sure if you remember me but you danced with my son John at the winter games and brought him on stage. Well he has
been talking about you ever since, do you mind coming to say hello?" Not only did I vividly remember him and his son, but his son was someone that I will never forget because of that night. Anyway, I walked with him over to find his son John who was about 100 meters away. As soon as John turned around and saw me, he dashed towards me for a hug! It was so great seeing him and watch him compete in the Track and Field events. He had done so wonderful! Along with John, I had seen a lot of other athletes that I met at the Winter Games. I also was able to walk around to the different events. It was incredible! They had gymnastics, volleyball, track and field, softball, baseball, swimming, lifting, and so many more. I was so inspired to see how hard each of the individuals work to get that far and compete in these events. I was so proud! And congratulations to all the athletes and all the medalists!
