You simply must read this letter from a 15 year old girl named Emily with Down Syndrome
posted by Beth Foraker.
These are her hopes after high school:
Her plan:
1. Go to college
2. Keep learning. {LOVE this so!}
3. Graduate like normal kids.
Three jobs she would like to have:
1. Make up artist
2. Teach toddlers in preschool
3. Make fruit smoothies
Three things she needs:
1. Have the peer tutors put their phones away and help me. {this breaks my heart}
2. I want the teachers to treat me kind. Don't act like you are frustrated with me. I have Down Syndrome and need help. {wow}
3. I want the teachers to see how smart I am.
On the back of her note Emily wrote:
"Time to see what I can do to test the limits and break through.
Don't limit me."
Wow.
Just wow.
Sweet Emily is so wise.
What an amazing reminder to us all!
