"I am passionate about my volunteer work with the Special Olympics. I have a little brother with Downs Syndrome and began volunteering with the Olympics when I was thirteen years old, and my brother started competing. I am passionate about the Special Olympics because of the joy and excitement it brings to the competitors' faces and the friendships it creates. This passion is what led me to become a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, and I cannot think of a better career choice."
