this past weekend i was helping out with the music at the canadian national gymnastics championships in hamilton. it was alot of work for 4 days and tiring since they were long days.. there was alot of good competitors and only a few of them made the canadian team. but the one thing that stuck out the most was when they had 2 rhythmic gymnasts that were special olympians.. one was a 5 time gold medalist at the 2008 beijing olympics and the other one won 4 silver medals and a bronze at those games. now seeing them do a demonstration in front of everyone brought a smile to whoever watched them perform. now just because they have a special need doesnt mean they cant do something. they could probably do it as well as some of us could given the chance. and the training. so for me seeing them perform made me realize how lucky we all are and how special they really are in peoples eyes. we should not be judging them because they are different. we should be treating them like normal people. so to them i give them a big round of applause and a big cheer for everything they do in life and how they have a smile on their faces. to them there is no quitting. so thank you for trying. i think we should all learn a lesson from them

thanks
