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.
I now find it really sad that after many years or a short amount of time of being friends someone, they turn against you for no reason or mostly over something really stupid. What a sad world they live in if they can not accept the past mistakes that was once made or even worse holding grudges against the person.
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!".
