Excited for summer


Hey everyone I went to go to see the Harlem globetrotter and it was a lot of fun. After seeing them I have been practicing basketball. I can now dribble the ball between my legs. Hoping to find a Special Olympics basketball team for next year. I am getting ready to go to the 2 conference. Can’t wait to see all my friends. I was asked to speak about self-esteem at the conference and I can’t wait for the opportunity. The first conference is in Stamford Connecticut near New York which is awesome. The second conference is in Manchester England and I haven’t been to England before so I am excited for the trip. I am very interested in seeing all the harry potter tourist attraction near London since I have been reading the books for the last three months.

Thanks for reading!

trying skating

Hey everyone.
A few weeks ago during the Christmas break I tried skating at Julia F's skating party and had fun. It was a fundraiser for the Chromosome 18 Registry and Research group. It was a lot of fun and I got to meet some of my friends from the chromosome 18 registry and from camp. I got to see Noah Banton, Julia F and Emerson. I even met some of my other friends like Erica.  It was difficult at first but after a while I got used to skating on ice. The one thing is that the skates hurt your feet after awhile but at least I got some exercise. I enjoyed every bit of it and had an amazing time. My family won a chromosome bag and I got a juniors buzzer jersey. Can't wait for the next fundraising event.
