“I love Special Olympics. I have met so many people over the years that are still my friends. It’s great to inspire and cheer each other on. Special Olympics has helped me to be more confident. I used to be very nervous speaking in public, but now I’m not afraid of the spotlight.”

Nicholas Dorion
Flag Football, Northampton

“I’m proud of the fact that I have managed to do more than people told my mom I would ever be able to do. Getting into college was probably my proudest accomplishment and Special Olympics has helped me build my confidence and learn new sports. My mom raised me to be strong and independent and that is why I have been able to do what I do.”

Dominic Johnson
Volleyball, Franklin

“Special Olympics is my life. I moved from an extremely anxious, insecure individual to a young woman who found a ‘home’ with Special Olympics. Growing up, I was excluded and was unable to understand even basic things about how the world works. I attended a number of different schools and was extremely awkward physically until I found that, with coaching from Special Olympics, I could succeed. My medals are precious.”

Reshema Sedziak
Golf, Erie

“One of the things that I’m most proud of from being in Special Olympics are the 5k runs I do every year. Just to put myself out there. I used to always have trouble putting myself out there, trying to make new friends, because I was always quiet and shy. I didn’t talk much. But after putting myself out there and meeting new people I’m kind of used to being around large crowds of people. I just enjoy doing Special Olympics and I don’t think I plan on quitting.”

Damian Smith
Athletics, Bradford-Sullivan
