At Some Point We Have To Stop

During A Visit To California, When A Friend Of My Grandmother's Told My Parents That I Must Be Deaf Because I Was Not Responding To Sounds, My Father Was Absolutely Convinced That I Was Simply Being Stubborn.

It Seems We're Always In Transition And That It's More About Trends Than It Is About What's Meaningful.

When I Was Young I Knew I Was Deaf. I Couldn't Accept It.

When I Learned To Sign And Speak At The Same Time, The Whole World Opened Up To Me. That's The Beauty Of Encouraging Kids Who Are Deaf To Use Whatever It Takes To Communicate.

There Are So Many People, Deaf Or Otherwise Abled, Who Are So Talented But Overlooked Or Not Given A Chance To Even Get Their Foot In The Door.
