It Feels Amazing To Be A Role Model For People With And Without Disabilities.

Lots Of People With Little Kids Or Babies With Down Syndrome Tell Me They Aren't Afraid Of The Future For Their Child Because Of What I Am Doing To Help People Understand It Better.

I Want To Encourage Kids To Speak Up, To Tell Their Stories. That Is The Only Way People Will Know What We Have To Go Through. Believe In Yourself. Someone Once Told Me Being Different Isn't Bad - Different Is Just Different!

Like So Many Other Kids With Special Needs, I Have Been Bullied. Kids In Elementary School Made Me Eat Sand, And Those Same Boys Would Walk Behind Me, Teasing Me. Finally I Had Enough, And I Told Them To Grow Up.

I've Spoken In Front Of Members Of The U.s. Congress About A New Dream Of Living In Communities Where Everybody Is Welcome And Everyone Can Live And Go To School And Work Without Facing The Fear Of Bullies.
