They allow handicapped children an opportunity to compete, one which they would not otherwise have. These children compete every day as they grow older, realizing that they do suffer from mental or phys- ical disabilities. The Special Olympics provides them with an opportunity to be normal children for a day. Even though there is a first place finisher in each event, anyone who has worked a Special Olympics will testify that all of the children are winners. Many of the students who are involved in staging the Olympics feel a special pity for these children, but the overriding emotion is one of happiness and fulfillment. These are what the children feel while participating, and the true pity is that the event can only be held once per year. Student Life 101 ee iar se
