It Was Ability That Mattered, Not Disability,

The Handicap Of Deafness Is Not In The Ear; It Is In The Mind.

I Learned To Speak First, And Then To Sign. I Have Never Really Known What It Was Like To Hear, So I Cant Compare Hearing Aids To Normal Hearing.

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.

Why Are People So Interested In Other People's Relationships? It's Like Stealing.

I Live My Life Like Everyone Else; Everyone Has Their Own Obstacles. Mine Is Deafness.
