I recently came across an article about a young woman with Down syndrome who attends USC and is a teacher's assistant in a Kindermusik classroom.  This young lady is impressive for many reasons, but her speech is what stood out to me.  She has exceptional speaking abilities and is very articulate about her goals and abilities.  It is obvious that she has worked very hard to arrive where she is and it gives me a lot of hope and motivation for my own son.  Here is the article (with a video):

I just watched this video about the teacher, how fabulous. It gave me goose bumps to hear her talk so clearly. I am excited for my daughter's future and hope that she has opportunities such as this.
