    This is beautiful. Made me cry. Too many people think so little of people who have so called disabilities so that hammer into their brains that they will be dependant their whole life, or unable to live like other people who are so called normal. These people usually end up giving in and not trying. AMBITION is the key to success

    Sounds like the sort of person who doesn't let things bother her and seems the laid back type not to mention the clearest voice of anyone with DS I've heard.
    Onward's and upward's.
    Keep up the billiard's games.

      Adam Haase Same here, I could understand Kelly REALLY WELL!!!! I know a girl with DS, I cant understand her the best, even though I try to. Not to mention, she doesn't look like a full blown Down Syndrome.
