Olympics

The Special Olympics oath shows hope for committed and dedicated athletes. All thanks to Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the woman responsible for the greatest organization ever created. Special Olympics was created in 1968 when my role model Eunice Shriver's eyes were opened to just how unfairly children with disabilities were traded. Much like Shriver, I am dedicated to the equality of children with mental delays. Since I was eight years old I have always been involved in the Special Olympic…

Olympic Medical Center has formed a strategic plan to help shape their vision for serving their community. The main key goal areas are quality, patient safety and satisfaction, community relationships, and organizational performance. Regardless of the ability to pay, each person in their community is welcome to receive health care services at Olympic Medical Center. Healthcare is subject to many outside control factors such as governmental regulations and payment systems such as Medicare,…

Introduction The 1936 Olympics were an important event in history because if Germany wasn’t the nation that had held the 1936 Olympics then Hitler and the Nazis wouldn’t have been able to use it to boost themselves up in the German government, which would have delayed World War Two. Both the Nazis and the rest of the world got a wake up call when some human rights groups protested that the 1936 Olympics were to be held in Berlin, Germany. They did this because they were aware that the Nazis did…

Many people know her as the girl who won all of the gold medals. But before the olympics, Simone Biles was just an average, everyday person. She was raised by her grandfather, Ron and grandmother Nellie, due to her mother's addictions and her father's abandonment. Biles discovered her talent at an early age, assuming she started gymnastics at age six, as a part of a daycare activity. Her instructor said she should continue, and soon enrolled into an optional training program at Bannon’s…

This year my service learning included the Special Olympics and the PCC Health Fair. The Special Olympics was founded in the 1950’s by Eunice Kennedy Shriver. She noticed that young children with intellectual disabilities did not have a place to play. The mission is to work in the community to change the attitudes about people with intellectual disabilities and raising awareness. They provide a safe environment where children and adults with disabilities can focus on what they can do, not on…

Special Olympics has a lot of remarkable individuals, the only entity different about these individuals are their mental capacity or physical impairment; their learning performances are slightly lower than the average person. Can special needs individual…

The mural "Going to The Olympics, 1984" by Frank Romero, was made in 1984 and put in Hollywood Freeway (101) North between Alameda and San Pedro St. to symbolize his historic point of view of going to the Olympics. The picture had five cars in the order of the color of the Olympics rings from left to right, a blimp with the writing "A GOODYEAR" on it, an iron, two silhouettes of people fighting, a horse, a stamp, five hearts on top of each car, and four palm trees. The mural has been mostly…

In the painting, "Going To The Olympics" made in 1984 by Frank Romero, there are different things going on all at once. This mural was made in Los Angeles. I was made by a freeway. A couple years ago it was painted over and this lead to Frank Romero taking this situation to court. This mural represents Los Angeles in a way, so for the city to paint over it is very unfortunate. Romero did end up having a case because he did indeed bring up a valid point. He had brought up one of the laws that…

: McKayla Maroney spoke out against her Olympic Gymnastic doctor Larry Nassar of sexual acts when she was a teenager. She said it all began when she was 13 years old, training for her first National Team and lasted throughout her career. He molested her throughout the years under the impression of giving her "medically necessary treatment that he had been performing on patients for over 30 years." Doctor Nassar took advantage of Maroney whenever and wherever he had the opportunity to “treat” her…
