I'm Different, And My Manner Invites Questions.

What Parent Has It Easy? I Just Never Make The Difficulty Of It An Obstacle. I Just Do It.

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.

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

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

I Can Hear You And I Can Watch Your Mouth Move, And Then I Put Together The Sounds And The Visual Image And I Can Understand The Words As I Integrate The Two Signals.
