I just want to be like other people that are normal.

Having Down syndrome is like being born normal. I am just like you and you are just like me. We are all born in different ways, that is the way I can describe it. I have a normal life.

I have a motto on my bedroom wall: 'Obstacles are what you see when you take your eye off the goal.' Giving up is not my style. I just want to do something that's worthwhile.

I was like Gene Kelly, it was called singing in the rain. No seriously, I wasn't really born with a singing voice, but my friends Joe and John taught me how to sing.

I'm just like James Stewart, because I never studied to be an actor.

Its not our disabilities, its our abilities that count.

Don't give up on the child. Give the child an education. Give them daily love.
