Ally comes from a Russian family. Her parents both speak Russian and English. Ally is a fun loving student who enjoys coming to school and learning with her peers. Ally rarely has behavior issues and is typically compliant with her teachers. Ally also attends Russian school on the weekends in which she loves sharing her new learnings with the class.

Trisomy 21 is caused by the failure of the chromosome 21 to separate during sperm or egg development. As a result of this, a sperm or egg is produced with an extra chromosome 21. When it is combined with the other normal cell, the baby has 47 chromosomes out of which 3 are chromosomes 21. In 88% of the cases, trisomy 21 arises from the non-separation of the chromosomes in the mother, 8% from the non-separation of the father and only 3% when the egg and the sperm have merged together to form one.…

But on the other hand, there is a con to every pro. Traci Toomey and coauthors stated the following in their article: With evidence that lower legal drinking ages were associated with more traffic crashes among youth, citizens advocacy group led a movement to restore the MLDA to 21 in all states.
