REALITY TV SHOCASES SPECIAL NEEDS IN A GOOD LIGHT




The picture to the left is of my favorite Amazing Race team Margie and Luke. ----------------
The other picture shown are of the American Idol contestant Scott (season 8) who I think is just precious . God gave him a beautiful voice and heart to match
So , sorry these pictures are out of order I'm still learning how to place the pictures near the correct section so that this and any other posts I write that include pictures make sense to the reader.

















I am really enjoying the current season of The Amazing Race and American Idol because this season both reality shows have contestants with special needs on them this time. This wasn't the first tme for the Amazng Race to do it . On a prior season, The Amazzing Race featured a cousin team, one of them was a "little person" That season that team didn't win but they did well.






This season it featears a Mom and Son team Luke (is deaf) his mom and he communicate by sign language. They are able to finish task just like anyone else. Margie and Luke are now n 4th place GO LUKE. You have to be somewhat of a dare devil to be on that show and that is so not me. Luke's team is the one I want to win the most because I have special needs myself, so I can relate to his team more..












This is the first season that American Idol has featured a person with special needs on it. His name is Scott Macentire and He's almost totally blind Scott has been given an awesome angelc voice that I am very inspired and moved by. He also plays the piano which he taught himself to play as a kid.






I love to listen to music I try to sing with the music on the radio. Singing is something I can do and enjoy more
These 2 shows are doing a wonderful job that we do abilites all we need is a chance to showcase them. we also need people to believe inus
