"You can do it, so can I" composition

You can do it and so can I

“I think I can run forever, hold the dream in my hand, and never give up. All lives stand up proud of me. I and Together, you stand tall and shout to the world, you can do it, I can do it..." Accompanied by the immature and dreamy singing of the Special Olympics theme song "You Can Do It, I Can Do It" by a group of mentally retarded children, on the evening of October 2, in Shanghai In the stadium, the World Summer Special Olympics Games kicked off.

On the afternoon of October 4, I was fortunate enough to come to Jiading Stadium to watch a bowling match. Looking around the stadium, large slogans such as "You can do it, I can do it," "Equality, tolerance, harmony, joy," "Let me try, let me win," and "I can do it," are particularly eye-catching in the hot sun and warm wind.

Special Olympics athletes from all over the world, accompanied by volunteers wearing orange shirts, came to the competition venue. Look! The blond, white-skinned little chubby guy from the United States appeared jumping and joyfully. He raised his hands high and waved the V-shape of victory. Sometimes he raised his arms and shouted, sometimes he had an arrow on the string and was ready to go. His smile was so cute and pure, as if he had won without a fight. Accompanying his performance was a continuous wave of applause from the audience.

The game started and the players all picked up the ball, but they were not in a hurry to let it roll. The player from Chinese Taipei looked ahead intently, dribbling the ball repeatedly with both hands, and carefully considering the direction and strength of the throw. Our hearts also became tense as he moved up and down, ready to surrender. After brewing for a long time, he seemed to have found the perfect moment and finally threw the ball. Follow the ball's trajectory with your eyes intently. At the end, he raised his head and gave the audience a satisfied smile, seeming to tell us: I succeeded, celebrate for me! Coaches, friends, and spectators erupted in truly thunderous applause, cheering him on and applauding him.

What a lively scene! I felt that the softest part of my heart was being touched, and the emotion was rising and fermenting bit by bit. I think that at this moment, national boundaries have become blurred, and Special Olympics has connected the hearts of people all over the world.

The faces of Special Olympics athletes are the most innocent faces, and the smiles of Special Olympics athletes are the most sincere smiles. Maybe you will think that their speed is not fast enough, their height is not high enough, and their movements are not graceful enough, but you can't help but see the hope and persistence in their eyes, and you can't help but feel their dreams and their desire to win.

Although the Shanghai Special Olympics Games have passed, there is always a feeling that fills my heart. The Special Olympics sports event, which is full of equality, tolerance, harmony and joy, gives every athlete who has ever sincerely shouted "I want to compete" the strength to meet every challenge in life, and also makes them deeply understand: God Give them limited wisdom, but unremitting efforts can enable them to write a glorious chapter in life. As Mr. Tim Shriver, Chairman of Special Olympics International, said, both mentally retarded people and able-bodied people need to constantly hone themselves and explore their potential.

The Special Olympics spirit continues, and everyone should say to themselves: I KNOW I CAN. come on!
