If I could receive anything for my birthday...

It would be something to change peoples perspectives on those with disabilities. This is exactly what I got. My best friend Sydney sent me a video of her singing "let it go" from our favorite movie FROZEN. This video not only touched my heart, but I know will touch and inspire many others. This is why I wanted to share my birthday gift to you all. Sydney is a true gift in my life. she has the gift of kindness, a gift of singing, and a gift of being an incredible friend. "Very few people with Down Syndrome will ever be able to sing" says Down Syndrome Education International. Sydney is defying those odds by singing her heart out.. and not to mention showcasing her super sassy self :) I hope Sydney can serve as an inspiration for you because I know she is the type of human I aim to be every single day. Here's my ice queen... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!



And since Sydney and I have been apart for the summer, we have gotten good at communicating through other means such as videos, texting, pictures, and messenger. But I made sure to tell her how happy her video made me and that I would get a special birthday burger for her :)



Sydney also sent me a birthday card....



 

And my mom of course made my birthday AMAZING, by having me wake up to this. And then taking me out for a burger at my favorite place after work. I AM BLESSED.
