Down Syndrome Awareness Month — Ben: The Dancer
October 16, 2025
“People who are observant and quiet see a lot of the world that the more outgoing people sometimes miss.”
But don’t be fooled, when Ben gets out on the dance floor you better watch out! He can do the worm like nobody’s business!!
Ben worked hard to get into college. Late nights studying (just talking about it makes him tired), keeping up his grades, and always giving his best led him to the University of Arkansas, where he’s loving dorm life, making friends, and growing more independent every day!!
For Ben, the love of the outdoors has turned into a big dream of becoming a fish and wildlife biologist, inspired by his dad’s work.
Ben might be one of the quiet ones, but he’s steady, determined, and such a reminder of what’s possible when we just keep dreaming.
