When we were walking into the Buddy Walk event, I was looking around at all the people and trying to figure out what this event was all about. I noticed 2 couples (looked like high schoolers)holding hands, walking towards us. As we got closer, I saw that all four of them had Down Syndrome. I thought it was SO CUTE! They were just hangin out, like any other typical teenage couple would. I loved it. I think that was one of my favorite parts of the day. Then today, I came across THIS video.
"Because we want to protect them so much, we are typically the first ones to treat them poorly by subconsciously denying them their rights to have a normal life."
