My sister.
My sister is a very special person. She has a mild case of Down Syndrome. She is really blessed in the fact that she can read and write and even talk, which a lot of people with DS can't do. It bothers me when people say they "Are very sorry" to hear about her condition. She is just like any other kid out there. She likes to play with her toys and watch TV and bake cakes. And most of all, she likes to annoy her older sister, she gets great enjoyment out of that. And yes, she knows exactly what she is doing. Sometimes I think she is too smart for her own good. There is not a second when she doesn't have something to say. She is one of the most loving people you will ever meet. She knows just when you need a hug, sometimes before you do. At the same time, she can get really mad and she is very dramatic. I won't lie, sometimes it is hard. She doesn't understand a lot of things and people can be pretty mean to her (except when I am around). And sometimes I can't do certain things because she can't. She is also the most stubborn person I have ever met. You cannot change her mind about anything. Despite all that, she is one of the most amazing people in my life and I wouldn't trade her for a "normal" sister any day.
