Special Olympics

I am just entering into my second month of my reign and I can hardly believe the opportunities that have been presented to me.  This journey is truly what you make of it and I am very fulfilled.  Some of my most memorable appearances have been the times I have connected one on one with Special Olympics athletes.  I was honored to speak at the opening of the Mercer County Area Games and I was also blessed to assist during the awards ceremonies.  Next week I will be involved in the Unified Relay as the Special Olympics torch makes it way to Los Angeles to open the World Games.  After that I am looking forward to coaching my track and field athletes at the New Jersey State Games.  Working so closely with special needs individuals gives you a chance to live life momentarily through their eyes.  It teaches you what is truly important and also how to make an impact on those around you.  I highly encourage everyone to try volunteering for Special Olympics at least once, I promise you will not regret it.

Live the life you love,
Amber Mack
