Illinois girl with DS wins homecoming crown, peers’ respect
October 18th, 2008
From the Chicago Tribune:
Seventeen-year-old Anne Jennings was selected homecoming queen at Libertyville High School north of Chicago earlier this month. She has Down syndrome.
“Before, I was just plain me,” said Jennings, selected by student vote out of 17 nominated girls. “When I was queen, it changed. It’s amazing. Everyone loves me. I love me.”
