Answer 1

Text:

I have Down syndrome.

                                                                            Know me before you judge me.

“I have Down syndrome. But I’m a normal teenager.”

Even though I have Down syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school. And I get along with my sisters - except when they take my CDs without asking!

Some of my classes are typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aide who goes with me to my harder classes,  like Math and Biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests.

Having Down syndrome is that makes me “me”. And I’m proud of who I am. I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.
