Teacher of the week

A local news service in South Carolina has featured a young woman with Down syndrome as their 'teacher of the week':
One local assistant teacher is living proof that with motivation and a positive attitude there is nothing that can't be accomplished.
"I always tried hard, and I always did my best," said Bryann Burgess, an assistant teacher with a school called Kindermusik.
From day one, the 22-year-old came into this world with an extra obstacle.
"I was born with down syndrome, on August 20th, 1988," Burgess said.

Video and a full transcript of the report are here.
