It took a full-page Facebook post to release the winner’s name. However, the name was not meant to take more than one or two lines. But it was the unmatched quality of Michael that filled the center stage. 

Honoring the athlete, the Facebook page penned, “We are proud and honored to announce that MICHAEL Paulinski from Montogomery County is our 2023 Valor Award Winner!” Adding to this, they further wrote, “Michael has been a Special Olympics athlete for more than 30 years, participating in volleyball (his favorite sport), basketball, swimming and powerlifting. Additionally, Michael is a trained Global Messenger and an amazing advocate for the disability community.”

The Special Olympics athlete from Montgomery saw various downfalls in his life. However, that fell short in front of his determination to take part in certain sports in the Special Olympics. The physically heavy game of Volleyball happens to be his favorite. Certainly, this man found ways to support his teammates or give his best, even in the darkest hours of his life.

Meanwhile, many known ones also joined in and remembered their marks in Michael’s life. One such post from Jessica Lynn quipped, “Congratulations! My mom and aunt worked with you Michael at the YMCA… well deserved!!! “. Sincerely, Michael used to regard his late father Joey to be his best friend.

Your mom and dad would be so proud.” Someone named Stephanie Doyle reacted with the best mood, “Michael Paulinski is a rock star!”

So, all it took to be a Michael Paulinski to not face any derogatory remark from anyone. But will it be a milestone to follow for the other ones also? It will surely take time to find an answer to that.
