Reseña del libro "Born For This: From Disability to Destiny (en Inglés)"

In 1973, a young couple was told by their doctor that their newborn daughter had Down syndrome. He said that she would probably never walk or talk, and he advised them to put her in an institution and to get on with their lives. They ignored his advice.Not only did Windy Smith learn to walk and talk, she's walked into the Oval Office on several occasions to meet with the President of the United States. She's talked to over 38 million people on national TV, and she's competed in the International Special Olympics Games. This is the story of a remarkable young woman's life, over several decades, as she embraces her destiny. It follows her incredible journey as she grows up to become friends with celebrities, professional athletes, governors, and she even becomes a special friend to a President. This compelling book also tells about her faith in God, her compassion for others, and how she helped reshape federal polices and became an advocate for all Americans with disabilities. Windy's life has been about overcoming disabilities in order to reveal her unique abilities to the world. She was truly Born For This.
