Wow, I can't believe it's almost the end of the year already! These last few months really went by fast, especially with all the amazing events that I've been involved in. I had the honor of meeting former US President Bill Clinton and presented him with a copy of the Seventeen magazine that I was on the cover of last year. I also gave the magazine to one of my heroes, Serena Williams when she shared a meal at McDonald's with me and other Special Olympics athletes. I got to run with leaders of Intel during the first March for the Future Charity run for Special Olympics in Beijing in October. It was a beautiful, fun day and I was proud to participate in this first of 3 events that helped to raise US$100,000 for Special Olympics!
