I AM - DEAF




THIS IS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE DEAF:
Lonely at times
I AM - ONE IN A MILLION
Feelings of being left out of conversations
I AM - DIFFERENT
I'm able to talk with my mouth full and not be rude, - I use my hands to talk, lol
I AM - UNIQUE
Deaf people have their own language - ASL
I AM - JUST ME
I can read lips
I AM - A FRIEND
It can be frustrating not knowing what sounds sound like
I AM - JUST A GIRL
I can "hear" your expressions
I AM - WHO GOD MADE ME
I don't hear sounds, I feel sounds
I AM - SPECIAL
It's upsetting when the closed captioning doesn't work on the TV
I AM - TALENTED
I can watch TV and read at the same time (the closed captioning)
I AM - BEAUTIFUL
Not being able to understand movies at the theater
I AM - A DAUGHTER
Not all deaf people know each other
I AM - AN ATHLETE
I still sing along to music I can feel
I AM - A WRITER
Vibrations are "noisy" to me
- motorcycles
-earthquakes
-bass drums
-ambulances
-big trucks
these things are very "noisy" to me.
I AM- A SISTER
Some people don't understand me when I talk
I AM - REBECCA
