My brother was born with Down Syndrome. He is my hero, my inspiration, and the person I look up to most. Being a sibling of a special needs child is a special experience. I have learned many techniques and ideas on how to accomplish tasks. Moreover, I have learned how special these children are to our lives. They teach us the things we don't always learn, such as not being judgmental, unconditional love, and the importance of a positive attitude. I have learned all these things, thanks to my brother. I have worked with him all of my life and have spent some time in his classroom during the school year helping out. Also, the after-school program that I worked in had a few special needs students, whom we had the pleasure of working with.
