A Long Time Ago When I Was

I Love Working On 'glee,' And I Hope That There Are More And More Parts For Me And Other Actors With Down Syndrome In Television And In Movies So I Can Keep Working For A Long, Long Time.

I've Had Tons Of Bullies Who Would Call Me Retarded, Even On My Facebook Page. It's Sad And It Really Hurts. I Want To Tell People Not To Use The Word. Don't Say Your Friend's Retarded When They Do Something Foolish. If You Have A Disability, Keep Working Hard. Whatever It Takes, Do It, And Don't Be Mean To People.

I Am On The International Board Of Best Buddies, And I Am Also Working With Special Olympics, And With The Arc To Help People With Disabilities Become More Independent And More Included In Their Communities.

It Feels Amazing To Be A Role Model For People With And Without Disabilities.

I Hope That When People With Down's See Me, They Will Be Inspired To Do More Than They Think They Can.
