State vs State

State for People not in Special Olympics is celebrated a lot. It is a major victory for the whole school. People get all excited, miss school to see it, and have a huge party or send off. I do not see why it is not the same for the students who make it to state in the Special Olympics.

If you make it to Sate in Special Olympics it is just as big of a deal. It takes a lot of hard work on the student’s part and is not easy to do. They, like the people not in Special Olympics, should get praise for all of their hard work. It takes a lot of work to be a qualifier for the State Special Olympics. It is a huge deal and I wish more people would realize it.

I wish there would be more attendance at the Special Olympics games. The students work really hard, and they do not get praised enough for it. I think schools should make it so that students care about the Special Olympics, and do not just dismiss the fact it is happening. When other sports make it to state there is a lot of praise, a lot of celebration, and a huge crowd watching. It is mainly only parents at the Special Olympics games. There are also some family members, but mainly just parents. At the state competition for other students there are parents, family members, friends and other students there cheering for the athletes participating in it. Having other students there makes participating in the games more special and fun.

This year I hope to show my school that students in the Special Olympics are very talented and deserve to be recognized for it. We are doing a huge State send off for people in that made it to State in the Special Olympics. None of the athletes know yet. I got the administrators to agree to do it and we got an okay from the teacher. I think this year having the sendoff for state will make the students more appreciative of the Special Education students.
