Ana Victoria Espino De Santiago became the first lawyer with Down Syndrome. The 25-year-old from Zacatecas, Mexico, graduated from law school, which was not an easy feat as she faced typical societal prejudices and academic challenges toward those with Down Syndrome. She kept going, exercised incredible determination, and demonstrated unmatched resilience to reach this milestone. Through this, she’s setting a big standard, for those with disabilities or otherwise. She plans to use her education to become a legislator and continue to fight against discrimination for those with disabilities. We have to get used to assuming that disabilities don’t define one’s destiny. Assume someone with a disability can accomplish anything they set their mind to—and they probably will.
