My 3 year old daughter with down syndrome Jacqui West cheering for her achievement of walking down to get her certificate at her Early Head Start Graduation. Jacqui didnt walk until 33 months and we are all so proud of her ambition to be like the other kids in her playgroup.Mommy filled with love and tears. One of my best days ever!

Dropped out of school short after my 16th birthday. Not able to go back to school, or even get a good paying job I was stuck with no one to help me. Until I met my soul mate{STRETCH215} four months after my 18th birthday, He ensured me that I was capable of getting my G.E.D. It was not easy and it took a lot of work. Long story short there are five test you must pass in order to get your diploma, I passed 4/5 test in the first try. But I didn't pass my math, when I first started my testing it was the year of 2006. It's now 2011 since then I've given birth to four children,registered 3 times for my math test and only showed up the first time and then for the last test and guess what I finally got my G.E.D Diploma on December 9,2010. In five years I was tested by a higher power and over came all that was thrown my way. YOU MIGHT BE ONE STEP FROM REACHING THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN TO SLIP AND FALL ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM AGAIN BUT IF YOU HAVE THE AMBITION YOU WILL EVENTUALLY RULE THE TOP OF THAT MOUNTIAN'S PEAK.
