Every once in a while, an opportunity comes along that cannot be shunned; a chance to be part of something special that will leave an impression on you for years to come; an opportunity to make a difference.
What am I talking about?
Okay, so I'm talking about sporting opportunities for the London 2012 Paralympic Games. (The UK Talent Team have just launched a recruitment drive.) And these opportunities aren't open to most of us.
But what this represents is that, sometimes, opportunities come along when we least expect them and that grasping them with both hands can make a real difference to our lives.
And all of us, however, do have the opportunity to be a part of London 2012. The Volunteer Programme opens in 2010 and will be a great way to get involved while adding all-important skills and experience to your CV.
