       In someways, I consider myself a keeper. My friend has an aunt who had Down Syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder, associated with the presence of an extra chromosome 21, characterized by mild to severe mental retardation (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Down+syndrome). Because of what she has, she is unable to take care of herself. My friend and her 2 sisters play a lot of sports and are alwasy running around. I know that it can be challanging for them to be bringing there aunt around with them because she is older and she gets tired quickly. For those reasons I will sometimes babysit her in a way. I go over to her house and watch her. We play games sometimes.
