What It's Like to Live With Down Syndrome: Hannah's Story, A Girl With Down Syndrome

This week I want to introduce Hannah and her mom, NaChole, as they share their Down syndrome story with you.

In this interview, we find out what it was like for NaChole to receive a diagnosis like this - facing the reality that her baby would be born with Down syndrome. And we discuss what life is actually like, including Hannah's impact on people, her hopes and dreams, and more.

Hint: she loves to dance and wants to become a model.

Hannah is not just a girl with Down syndrome, she is a rising star as you will soon see.

Watch this week's interview with this lovely mom-daughter duo and learn more about what it's like to live with Down syndrome.

Anyone who has met Hannah will agree that she is a force of nature. I don't know how so much sass and confidence can possibly fit into one small person.

One of the things I love most about Hannah and her mom, NaChole, is their relationship. They are just girlfriends. NaChole relates to Hannah just like any mom of an adolescent daughter - watching their mom/daughter shorthand and their give and take is so entertaining!

NaChole doesn't cut her any slack when it comes to behavior, but she also doesn't step on her dreams.

As a mom, NaChole is committed to clearing any obstacles so that Hannah has the same opportunities to grow up, pursue a career, and have relationships as any typical daughter. Hannah doesn't see any barriers, she just goes for the gusto in whatever she does.

Watch our interview, then watch Hannah's dance video from her hospitalization for hip surgery! You will laugh until you cry. And you will believe like I do, that Hannah is capable of doing just about anything she aspires to.

Let me know in the comments below what dreams you would pursue in life with the gusto that Hannah has!
