Jen's Story

Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and grew up in Margate. My schools include Coconut Creek High School, Margate Middle School, Coconut Creek Elementary and Alphabet Academy. I later attended Broward Community College North Campus (Criminal Justice). What everyone did not know about me is that I have Mosaic Down Syndrome. I am my own self advocate and I inspire and give hope to those parents whose child has down syndrome. During my middle and high school years, I have been bullied emotionally, been taken advantage of and taken for granted. Currently writing a book about my life with down syndrome and how I was treated. How I am best described: I am sweet, kind, caring, polite...Expand for more
and wonderful to all. I am a one of a kind, genuine person who cares about everyone.

Treat me with respect and accept me for who I am is all I am asking for. I don't go around gossiping or telling false stories because that is not my style, there are always two sides of the story. I did not change, I grew up. You should try it sometime!". You can find me on Facebook

On this day 28 years ago my mom, my sister and I were saluting firefighters who have passed in Fort Lauderdale! My sister and I received our dad's fire helmet and ax! 

It was a bittersweet day.
