special olympics

     We went bowling today as volunteers.  We helped adults bowl and have fun.  I personally had a fun time during this experience.  I met alot of people that were really funny and had many funny stories to tell.  These adults weren't afraid to tell you what they were thinking or how they felt.  No matter how they bowled, it didn't effect their attitude much.  I really enjoyed it when I saw them high five each other or cheer for the one bowling, even when they really had no idea who they were.  They were very inviting towards others and to me helping them. 
     My group was an exciting group.  Weston, Philip, Steve, and Conell.  Weston was pretty quiet but loved to pat my head, blew me kisses, and call me cry baby for no reason.  He also told me I was his girlfriend.  Philip liked to stand on the slick part of the lane and make me tell him not to and he hugged me.  Steve was the cheerer of the group.  Conell, he was the best bowler around.  He started out with two strikes and had a nice bowling technique that worked for him. 
     I connected with my other shared lane too.  Lamar McKane.  He's the funniest man alive.  He told me and Kelsey many stories about his girlfriends, he had twelve, and his family and his sisters.  Lamar questioned us what he wanted for his birthday, he wanted us.  He thought Kelsey and I looked like twin barbie dolls from television, and I also looked like one of his girlfriends. 
     These human-beings aren't given many opportunities to do regular stuff that we take for granted everyday.  Why am I given these privilages?  I should be more thankful.  I'm glad I was able to attend this event and help those guys.
