“Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up.” – Rocky Balboa. Sam has been dealing with some injuries but still loves to be active. She is more of a gas pedal kind of person, not so much for the brake pedal! She is so competitive (although she loves cheering everyone else on, too). Her Special Olympics Arizona swim meet is coming up really soon and we know she is going to crush it! #swim #specialolympics #SOAZ #leavenoonbehind #choosetoinclude #athlete #notyourordinarysam #samanthaderivan #Arizona #specialolympicsarizona #adaptiveathlete #theluckyfew #smallbutmighty #nothingdownaboutit
