My name is Izzy, and I love any opportunity that will enhance my understanding of how I can be a well-rounded change maker in our communities. Life has disguised blessings to me that I have been able to evolve my perception of things and most importantly given me an insightful perspective of life beyond my own struggles. I joined Special Olympics 1 year ago. Throughout my story with Special Olympics, I have been a part of my schools Unified program and have played both seasons of Unified soccer and basketball. I attended 2 summits this year and organized my first field day. Prior to combining Unified with our school field day, I volunteered at a neighboring elementary school to promote inclusion and Unified Sports®. Our club worked really hard on that day and to be a part of an event that was geared toward encouraging our younger youth to combat stigmas that can be really hurtful and impact someone’s perception of what it means to have inclusion in our communities. Being a part of this mission means the world to me.
