Swimming Lessons with Evan

I am working very hard to get ready for Greece. I practice on Sunday mornings 9:00 to 10:15 and Tuesday nights from 7:00 to 8:30. I have a great trainer named Evan. He is a good teacher and pushes me to work hard.

He taught me how to dive off the block and helped me with my flip turns. Flips turns are hard for me but I am trying my best. I know flip turns and diving off the block will help my time. They both will knock off seconds so that I can help Team USA win!!

About 7 months to go:)

Logo for World Games

The Emblem of the Special Olympics World Summer Games ATHENS 2011 is a radiant sun, the source of life that underlines the excellence and power of the athlete that takes part in the Games. Excellence is depicted in the olive branch and power in the spiral form in the center of the sun. The colors reflect the Greek landscape and project emotions like passion for life in the warm red, optimism in the orange, determination in the blue, freedom in the light blue and hope in the green.

Check out my pictures from EKS Day!

This is me with Mr. Fred Graziano. He is the chairman of SONJ. We were wearing the same shirt. How funny is that?

It was neat to see the different things they put in the time capsule.

EKS Speech

On Saturday I gave a speech at Special Olympics in Lawrenceville about Eunice Kennedy Shriver Day. A lot of people came to the event and honored her memory. Here is the story from The Times: http://www.nj.com/news/times/regional/index.ssf?/base/news-21/1285479915138240.xml&coll=5

The day was a lot of fun!

Eunice Kennedy Shriver started Special Olympics in her backyard in 1968!! She was a very special person and I am happy that she started SO.
