TLC Camp 11-17-18 to 11-18-18






11-17-18 Woke up at 5:30am. Got ready and finished last minute packing. Mom and I went to Lone Jack Sonic to pick up Jennifer (Lee’s Summit athlete and TLC charter athlete). We are on our way to TLC (training for Life Campus) in Jefferson City. It’s about 1 hr. and 50 mins away. Arrived at TLC at 8:16am. There were four groups and I was in the royals! Woohoo go royals! It’s 8:31pm. What a day I had!! I learned how to play pickle ball, it’s like tennis, it was interesting. But it was fun. I also played volleyball, basketball, weight training, (I really liked to learn about weight training, I’ve never done it before) (except at Sports Camp) and floor ball.(floor ball was really fun, I made a goal! We learned about safety on social media, healthy eating, healthy athletes and about building relationships, that was my favorite! For lunch we had pulled pork, chips and bite sized cookie. For dinner we had salad, turkey, ham, stuffing, mash potatoes and gravy, pumpkin pie but it wasn’t lol. We had relay competition for the evening activity, that was SO much fun! Now I’m tired!! Before I forget, SOMO announced the winner for the raffle of a new car!! I was so happy for the winner, it was a family who has a young family. 

11-18-18 WOW what a morning I had! So let’s start from the beginning. Woke up this morning I woke up at 6:30am. Got ready and packed, after that went to breakfast, had biscuits and gravy...I know that isn’t healthy, but it was SO good! First thing when we arrived  at TLC we went to stretching, so I learned some new stretches. So that was awesome! My I nerves got the best of me this morning, I don’t know why I’ll allowed that to happen, my plan is to push them away next time. After the stretching I did my speech,  I felt really good about it! I got a lot of compliments on my speech, and that made me feel SO good! Then we went to athlete input council, there we talked about what we didn’t like AND what we did like. There was some great suggestions from everyone! Went to the gym and got into groups and we did some small groups activities. At first it was out of my comfort zone, but when the activity went on I was less nervous! I actually acted, and I really don’t do that much, and it felt really good when I did that! 

I’m SO glad I came this weekend, and it made it more enjoyable to have my teammate there, Jennifer! I’m also grateful my mom brought me, thank you SO much mom! I really liked that they offered new sports! I really liked that’ I can’t wait to play them again! The Special Olympics Missouri staff, thank you SO much for everything you do, and the volunteers thank you for making time to help us!
