BROOMFIELD, Colo. — Ahead of her graduation Monday night, Broomfield High School senior Jillian Ball is reflecting on years of friends and fun memories.
Her time on the stage was just one highlight of high school. But she’s grateful for so much more, including the teachers who challenged her. Ball has Down Syndrome but has never let her disability stop her from pursuing her dreams. “For a lot of people with Down Syndrome speaking is very difficult, and she's just always been very articulate,” Alexis Ball said, noting that Jillian learned sign language before she even learned to walk.
“I just went along for the ride to support my student and literally every jaw was agape. Our jaws dropped with how amazing she can do,” Grayson said.
