Are You Keeping Score?
Quite recently I was a spectator at a track meet for primary and high school athletes. As I waited to enter the venue I saw a young man, he could have been 18 but he had the body of maybe a 10 year old. He was decked out in his track suit and was walking around looking quite serious and focused. He was obviously a special needs child. At no point did I think he was a participant in any of the races. I am now in the stands and watching the races; if my memory serves me correct, the under 20 men's 100 meter dash. And who do I see running his heart out and competing with guys who could quadruple him in stature, the special needs guy from earlier. He ran a dead last, but in that moment, I saw him as a winner.
