So when she decided that she wanted to follow in her older sister’s footsteps and become a cheerleader. she proved any final doubters wrong and made the team!
Her mother told reporters, “She knew the cheers and she knew the moves… It just kind of came natural to her.”
Monica has always been popular in school, but it wasn’t until recently that a video of her dance routine has gone absolutely viral! This teenager is shattering false perceptions on what people with Down syndrome can and cannot do.
Since she was young she’s always been dancing, and her huge personality easily gained her a spot on the varsity squad. And when you watch the video below, you’ll easily understand why she’s becoming a national sensation!
Monica’s supportive family has always been there for her, and they’re so incredibly proud that this young teenager is already taking life and making it her own. Her mother reflected on having a child with “disabilities” and instantly said that she only saw her as “just another child.” Congratulations Monica for being an inspiration to everyone!
