What Parent Has It Easy? I Just

I'm A Proud Person Who Happens To Be Deaf. I Don't Want To Change It. I Don't Want To Wake Up And Suddenly Say, 'oh My God, I Can Hear.' That's Not My Dream. It's Not My Dream. I've Been Raised Deaf. I'm Used To The Way I Am. I Don't Want To Change It. Why Would I Ever Want To Change? Because I'm Used To This, I'm Happy.

It Was Ability That Mattered, Not Disability, Which Is A Word I'm Not Crazy About Using.

How Many Deaf People Do You Know In Real Life? Unless They Live In A Cave, Or Are 14, Which Seems To Be True For Most People In This Business, What Could I Possibly Tell Them That They Don't Already Know?

You Can Do Anything If You Set Your Mind To It. Look Out For Kids, Help Them Dream And Be Inspired. We Teach Calculus In Schools, But I Believe The Most Important Formula Is Courage Plus Dreams Equals Success.

I Hope I Inspire People Who Hear. Hearing People Have The Ability To Remove Barriers That Prevent Deaf People From Achieving Their Dreams.
