My Trip to Nationals
On Saturday we travelled all day on the plane. On Sunday we found the pool and did my warm-ups. The water was warm. The Opening Ceremony was on Monday. It was fun and we watched a movie. My first event was the 50YD Freestyle and I set a personal record with a time 41.68. Wednesday I finished first in the 50YD Backstroke. The 200 medley relay I swam with Daisy, Chris, and Joe. We got Gold. Thursday, I swam in the 4X25YD freestyle Relay with Joe, Tracy, and Katherine and we got a 5th place medal. Also, I swam in the 50YD freestyle and took gold. Friday in the finals for the 50YD Backstroke I got a gold medal and we had a party after the Closing Ceremony.

Today, I swam in the 50 meter backstroke. I won a silver metal. We won a GOLD metal in the 200 meter freestyle relay. It was very exciting. I am tired from the busy weekend and looking forward to sleeping in my own bed instead of the dorm bed at The College of New Jersey.

Saturday at the Special Olympics Summer Games
6-12-10
We woke up early this morning to get ready for the day. We warmed up in the pool at 7:30 am and the swim meet started at 8. I got a silver medal in the 50 meter freestyle. I didn't swim against my friend, Becky, this time. After lunch, I swam the backstroke in a 4X50 medley relay. I have tendonitis on my right foot and it hurts, but I swam my best and so did the rest of the team. We won gold medals for the relay. Tonight, all of the athletes on Team NJ were introduced at the Trenton Thunder game. I was nervous. My mom and dad came to the game.

Thank You TD Bank

I went to visit TD Bank in East Windsor, NJ with Jeanene Leppert of Special Olympics NJ. I went there to tell the Bank Officials about Special Olympics. When I got there,they made me feel very special. They gave me balloons, a cake, a TD sweatshirt and a bag of goodies. They were so nice to me. TD Bank donated a lot of money to Team NJ so that the athletes can go to Lincoln, Nebraska to compete.
Thank you TD Bank!
