Hi, my name is Jessica and  I  am going on 12.  I am in Special Olympics for people and kids. I am in a group of many ages, up to 80 years old! I do soccer and in the beginning of the year I did Special Olympics Rhythmic gymnastics.  For soccer my coach is Frank. He is a good soccer teacher.  I have learned how to dribble properly between my feet.  I play forward.  Special Olympics is good for me because it gives me sports I never did before and I meet special people like Sam and Adrian.

I play basketball.  Every Thursday I go to basketball for Special Olympics Burlington.  I play on a team and I have made lots of friends, Lee,Taylor, Adam, Sam, Jacob and my coach is are some friends I have made.  Basketball is my fovourite sport. It is lots of fun to play. I have the best coaches.  There names are Coach Sarah, Coach Howard and Coach Josh.  One time we played against our parents and another time we played against the Halton Police. Someday I want to be captain.  I wear a blue uniform.

On my team is Todd, Jeff, Scott.  My coaches name is Coach Art and he teaches me how to bowl. What I like about martial gym is when my mom watches me.

I went to see the Burlington Twins play baseball. Lots of people were there. It was really hot. I liked watching baseball right there live instead of on TV. And in the fourth inning we got to run around the bases. That was really fun. I liked talking to some of my friends while I was at the game.  So everybody should plan to come to the game next year because it was such a great time.
