A Very Rewarding 3 Hours

Today I was a buddy at the Special Olympics from 9-1. I was paired up with a 13year old boy, who I think had cerebral palsy. He had some motor imparment, but was fine aside from that. He was in a wheelchair, but could walk with crutches. His name was Bryce, and he was signed up to compete in the softball throw, shot put, and wheelchair race. Sadly, due to time constraints, he didn't get to do his race. I have to say though, he is probably the sweetest 13 year old in the whole world. He'd thank me everytime I'd push his wheelchair for him and for simply wanting to help him today, and insisted on carrying everything. He was a real doll of a kid. What can I say? I feel all warm and gushy inside. I really do need to get involved in some form of regular community service. I always feel so good afterwards.
