Olympics

In high school I had a desire to go to Special Olympics, but when it came down to it, I did not have time and I did not know how to get involved. One day in Foundations of OT we talked about an assignment that we had to participated in which was Special Olympics. I was so excited because I have been wanting to for a very long time. On April 30, 2016 I drove to Westminster Christian Academy excited more than ever, wondering whom was I going to be paired with or if this athlete and I would click…

In the mural "Going to The Olympics" by Frank Romero, he placed many symbols in is mural in a specific place.

The hearts may symbolize the love for LA, the two guys fighting probably symbolizes the games that would be in the Olympics. Also the cars have a certain color in a certain order, they have the colors of the Olympic logo and are in the exact order. In my…

I have chosen to write about bowling for Special Olympics. The Special Olympics is for people that have developmental disabilities.

And not only build confidence and self-esteem but to come together and compete with each other. In the Special Olympics bowling, they justify the rules for people with disabilities so that…

As freshmen, we had to prove that we could hold our own and continue to represent our section and our band as a whole with complete and utter confidence. During freshman year, we are allowed to compete in a band festival known as the Elkhorn Band Olympics. Anyone who wants to go to E.B.O. is allowed, as long as they are able to prepare a solo, duet, or ensemble. There are numerous students from the surrounding area that sign up to perform at this festival, so ranking high in your designated room…

With Lord’s statement on “silence will not protect you,” I think of controversial Olympic Gymnastic scandal with Larry Nasser. He has pled guilty to sexually abusing hundreds of women. It is surprising to me. All of these great women who knew and trained with each other could suffer in such a horrible way. Until recently, none of them thought to speak up about the pain that has afflicted them for years. These accomplished women were silent, but currently they know that their former silence…

who struggles to do things on their own but can figure out that they need to help someone up. Why can't every athlete do this? This commercial opens up with cheerful music in a picturesque scene. The current scene takes place at a Special Olympics track meet. There is a group of six runners who take off running. The boy in first place suddenly takes a tumble while everyone else continues running. While running by, one of the female runners stops and gives him a hand to get back on his…

In Frank Romero 's mural, "Going to the Olympics, 1984," it consists of five cars driving in a single file line towards the 1984 Olympics that was held in Los Angeles with hearts appearing above each vehicle, two gentlemen are wrestling in the sky next to a blimp that says "a good year" on it and a horse. The corner of the mural has a stamp on it and on the other side what looks to be an iron. The backdrop is saturated with Los Angeles trademark palm trees under the orange sky. The hearts…

Starting in 2012, the year of the London Olympics, the International Olympics Committee knew that Brazil was not prepared to host the 2016 Olympics. This is because of several things such as water contamination and a lack of facilities and man power. Another major reason that the Olympics should not have been held in Rio is the Zika virus. Zika is a virus spread through mosquitos and sexual activity. It causes a minor sickness to the male population but can cause many things to happen to a…
