RE: Be a Fan! Shining Moments at a Special Olympics Basketball Game

Awesome post, I have yet to attend an event like this but really do love the interactions I have had with children with "disabilities". Hate saying describing it as "disabilities" simply because from my interaction with those individuals throughout my time in school made it clear that many of these people are some of the most genuine people I have ever talked to. There is something about the genuine compassion and bigheartedness they show that I have not seen in anyone else.

As long as you are talking about the people first I'd say you are being respectful. The disability doesn't fine them. Their actions do. "Bigheartedness " is a great word to describe what I am lucky enough to see every day. The world needs a lot more of it.
