There is no gainsaying when we say that there is no limit to whatever
one can achieve irrespective of the situation. There are lots of people
who were actually not favored by nature yet they could still make
something good out of life regardless of their ordeal. People with "Down
Syndrome" are people that are not always fully embraced by any society.
Even in the most wealthiest and the most civilized society in the
world, these kind of people are always a victim of prejudice and
disparage. However, there are just some few who don't really give a shit
about what the society calls them, they have gone extra mile to prove
to the world that anybody can be anything.
