Best Special Olympics Memory: | My first competition with Special Olympics I was so nervous. I was still having problems tossing the ball and catching it even in practice. Right before I went out to compete my coaches told me to just go and be the best Brooke I could be and that’s all that mattered. I went out and I remembered my whole routine and I tossed and caught the ball without dropping it. I was so proud of myself. |
Hobbies and Activities: | I do Karate. I have an orange belt. I love to colour especially adult colouring books. I really enjoy watching movies; singing and dancing. |
Message to Sponsors: | Without the sponsors I would not have the opportunities to show the world what I can do. I wouldn’t be able to show people that I am more than a girl with Down Syndrome. I have goals and I love to compete. The sponsors make it all possible. |
