Why This Little Girl With Down Syndrome's Response to Learning She Made the Cheer Team Is Going Viral

Lacey Parker's dream came true with just one swipe of her iPad. When the adorable 10-year-old girl from Louisiana first learned that she made her cheer squad, she was overcome with happiness. Her mother posted Lacey's priceless reaction on Facebook, and with more than four million views, people can't help but grin at Lacey's good news.

The clip starts with Lacey checking the cheerleading roster to see if she made the team. She eagerly combs through the list of numbers and when she spots hers, her excitement is palpable. "I made it," she quietly exclaimed. A second later, a smile sprawls across her face and she can't help but jump with joy.

Growing up with two older sisters who have cheered their way through school, Lacey had been hoping for this exact moment for years. When she was first born, doctors didn't expect Lacey to survive 10 days, and now at 10 years old, we're able to witness her achieve her dream.

"Down syndrome is a label, it's not who she is," her mother, Renee Parker, told KSLA. "She's an amazing little girl who strives to do whatever she wants to do."
