Imagine a beautiful garden full of white roses, and among them, there was a single blood red rose. What attracts your attention? That’s a red rose, right? Why? Because it looks unique, beautiful, and really one of a million. Just like red roses, among thousands of people, only one person is talented with Down syndrome. Isn’t that a miracle?
In human cells, chromosomes determine a lot about our appearance – our eyes, hair color, and even our height. Babies were born with 23 chromosomes from their mother and 23 from their father. However, some special babies are born with other additional chromosomes. When this happened, it was called down syndrome. This lucky baby needs to be celebrated, and the world does that on March 21 every year with World Down Syndrome Day.
Down syndrome is not a disease, and cannot be spread. These children are the same as other people – they like to go to school, sing, dance, and play. Sometimes, they may need special care, such as princes and daughters, and they really deserve to get it because they are unique. However, they may also have other health conditions such as heart defects, digestive problems, vision and hearing problems, and increased risk of certain cancer and autoimmune disorders.
World Down Syndrome Day is a day to respect their achievements, celebrate their lives, and recognize the contributions they give to our world. One popular way for people to show their support is to wear brightly colored socks. This action symbolizes chromosomes and is a simple but strong way to express solidarity and love for those who have Down syndrome.
In the end, Down syndrome is not a disease – it’s just a unique gift. All we need to do is treat these people equally, support them, and love them for their special personalities and qualities.
