I've Spoken In Front Of Members Of

I've Had Tons Of Bullies Who Would Call Me Retarded, Even On My Facebook Page. It's Sad And It Really Hurts. I Want To Tell People Not To Use The Word. Don't Say Your Friend's Retarded When They Do Something Foolish. If You Have A Disability, Keep Working Hard. Whatever It Takes, Do It, And Don't Be Mean To People.

I Get Mail From People All Over The World Now From People Who Tell Me That They Didn't Really Understand Down Syndrome, But Because Of Me They Have Read About It And Studied It And Now They Know A Lot More About It.

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.

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

I Love Working On 'glee,' And I Hope That There Are More And More Parts For Me And Other Actors With Down Syndrome In Television And In Movies So I Can Keep Working For A Long, Long Time.
