My name is Christine Wells, and I am graduating from James Madison University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication.
My older sister Allison has Down Syndrome and is the inspiration behind this project. After graduating from Paul VI High School in Fairfax VA, she spent 3 years working in the bakery at a local Giant grocery story. She was awarded a certificate for her outstanding work as an employee of the store before we moved to North Carolina.
Allison is now 25 and recently got a job at a local restaurant by my parent's house. She now spends her days volunteering, working at the restaurant, and writing her interpretations of High School Musical and Power Rangers. After writing out her stories on paper, she then types it up on a laptop computer to be printed and compiled in a binder.
