A lot of fun.
He's always ready to go someplace, loves to be out and about in the community.
Does his bowling, his Zumba, his goannas club loves to go to baseball games and charters concerts, loves his concerts.

He likes to play practical jokes on you and joke around a lot.
He's fun to have around.
He's a hard worker.
You volunteered to do most everything that you ask him to do.
He's a real good guy.
Things I've learned about people with Down's Syndrome or any other disabilities is they actually can do more than you think they can.
You have to really encourage them to be more independent and they do have the skills to do that.
We're just here to help them improve that.
People with disabilities, I treat them like they're anybody else.
