I'm Just Like You

May 20, 2009

I laugh at funny jokes and enjoy spending time with people. Education is important to me; Ms. Dalhman I play kickball at recess and ride a bus home from school. Yesterday, someone shouted “Hey Retard!” at me. I was diagnosed with Down syndrome right after I was born. Often people won’t give me a chance; no one deserves to be treated like that.
