I chose today to start my blog about down syndrome awareness because it is world down syndrome day.

I hope this blog makes people realize that those with down syndrome are really "Just Like Us", so here goes......

 I started this blog for an english project and hope it can continue.  I selected Down Syndrome Awareness for my brother.  It completely baffles that years ago when a baby was born with down syndrome, the parents were advised to place them in an institution.  Why?  While we have come a long way since then, we still need to be more aware and accept those with down syndrome unconditionally.

Today is world down syndrome day.
