Participating in the Carrollton Special Olympics were several of the Miss Texas Titleholders, including Miss Plano, Adrianna Nelson and Teen Plano, Taylor Lowery. Below are a few pictures from the event and here is a message from Taylor about her participation.
Whenever I get the opportunity to work with the Special Olympics I always say yes if possible. I was able to help with the Carrollton Special Olympics on March 26th.There were several other Miss Texas titleholders that also attended the event. We were asked to encourage and cheer the athletes on as they participated in their events. I met a boy named Ryan who wanted me to watch him run so of course I was there by the track during his race. When he saw me he got so excited he nearly stopped running his race but I yelled and said "Ryan, keep going your doing great"!!! He ended up placing and how fun it was to be able to be the one that placed the medal around his neck. Every time I am able to help with the Special Olympics I thank God that my platform is "It Takes Someone Special to Help the Special". If you ever are offered the opportunity to volunteer at the Special Olympics take advantage of it; the event is well worth your time!!! I want to say a special thanks to Beaux Wellborn for asking the MTO girls to participate. ~Taylor Lowery, Teen Plano 2008
