Writer's Log #2: Current Event Connection to Freedom Thinking






The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage.


The subject of this article is Karrie Brown, a 17 year old with Down Syndrome. Her dream is to build a modeling career, but because of her situation, many probably have viewed this as impossibility. In this article, she is not fighting for freedom, but fighting for equality.  She is showing the world that having Down Syndrome doesn’t necessarily mean that she cannot do what others can. She shows courage for putting herself out there and finally wins the attention of girl’s fashion label Wet Seal. She is so full of life and joy, and she shows the world that having Down Syndrome can’t destroy her, and for that, many out there show her love and support.

This supports the quote the secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage. Because Karrie has the courage to stand up against any haters, she finds freedom in equality, being able to do what people thought she couldn’t do, and in the end, she finds happiness.
