Homecoming Queen and King Crowns

In Chicago, a 17 year old girl with Down syndrome has been crowned Homecoming Queen this month. Anne Jennings is probably the happiest person in Libertyville High School, as she has been chosen as their queen this year.

She and her best friends are now crossing the hallways with the largest smiles ever, and with the pride of knowing Anne is one of the most loved persons in the school.

She was elected queen on the 3rd of October and ever since her life has changed; it has been an enormous boost of self-confidence for her, and she now knows for sure that she is surrounded by friends and people who care about her. During high school she attended mostly special education classes, but she has always known to be a very good friend to people she had studied with in her early school years.

After graduating from high school, Anne will attend the Hawley Transition School in Mundelein, where she will be taught how to manage everyday tasks and how to keep a job.  At this moment, her biggest hopes are to go to college and marry her boyfriend.
