What Friendship Means to Me
Friendship is that part where you can rely on your friend and be there for them and share a bond no matter what. You can tell each other anything and they are there for you when you’re sad or happy.

Interview with Lauren Morris
Lauren Morris took first dance class at age 3 and first had the idea to start a dance studio at age 13. She was on the way home from dance class with her mom and they started talking about a girl who had Down syndrome. The girl was super happy and loved to dance.
