many people make mistake in thinking
that people down system are different
than you are I well it is true there are
some physical differences that are far
outweighed by their similarities some
people like to say that people Down
syndrome are normal but I’m here to tell
you that they are extraordinary it’s a
dream of mine that we can all learn to
celebrate down syndrome now I’m not
talking about celebrating the condition
Down syndrome rather celebrate those
individuals and their special qualities
you see my youngest brother Michael
better known as Mikey was born with Down
syndrome some you know probably asked
yourselves right now what is dancing how
do people get it’s simple people Down
syndrome or trisomy 21 it’s real name
have one extra set of the 21st
chromosome people with Down syndrome
have small structures upwards slanty
eyes and single deep crease across the
sounder center of their palm my dad says
and after come the leaders true mikey
has a gift
Mikey seems to know when people are need
of a hug almost as if it were his
superpower Mikey loves everyone Mikey
loves people so much if you stop moving
and close your eyes he’ll give you CPR
I found that out one night about a year
ago when me and Mike he went to bed he
was very loud and did not want go to
sleep so I thought if I stop moving and
close my eyes and lay down he’ll go to
sleep too I was wrong
he gave me CPR miking is a loving and
caring extreme brother a way you could
celebrate those of Down syndrome it’s
learned communicate with them better
here a few tips
many people will doubt you sign language
here a few signs do them with me please
practice please thank you
practice thank you Mikey’s favorite I
love you practice I love you see if you
can remember a few of those signs and if
you don’t just remember talking in the
same way you would anybody else talk to
them with love and kindness like you
would anybody in your family another way
you can celebrate those down to them is
they get involved with supporting them
for example there’s the Buddy Walk the
Buddy Walk is held each year the purpose
of spreading awareness to people Down
syndrome and to save money for those
that was for people with Down syndrome
in hospitals the Buddy Walk is like a
mini carnival with gains and food and
then you all go walk together the walk
is a lot of fun in a great way to have
friends with some of these remarkable
people maybe you’ll be in the next one
it’s my heart felt hope that we take
away from my talk is that people down to
them aren’t disabled there are miracles
and we’re lucky for the chance to meet
them
thank you
[Applause]
