I'm a Deaf person.
I wake up every day, with a vibrating alarm or a bright light, which sometimes becomes unbearable. Yes, I'm a Deaf person.
I watch TV, not with the sound but use closed caption. Yes, I'm a Deaf person.
In Transport or lunch break, alone with my friends, on Facebook, by phone, Facetime... my mobile is my salvation. Yes, I'm a Deaf person.
I don't hear the sound of wind, birds, rain, or melody, but what my ears can't appreciate, my eyes see it. They are my most valuable asset. They are the window of my soul. And my hands are the bridge that connects me to the world, I use them to speak, to write, to understand me and express my thoughts, which are not so different from yours. We are the same, I just don't regret that I could not hear and speak like you... Yes, I am a Deaf person.
I don't talk like you, but I'm not a stupid person. I can be wrong, a mistake is human, but if I'm wrong because I didn't get it, and if I didn't get it because we didn't make any effort to explain to me or because I was badly explained, it doesn't make me a fool. Yes, I'm a Deaf person.
I can talk. Some can understand. Others... no. So, sometimes it's hard to understand me, the same way the Chinese will realize it's hard to understand. Yes, I'm a Deaf person.
I mean, my way, I mean, my way. But I do the same things you do: Study, work, travel, drive, drive, drive, play sports, get married, have children and be a parent... actually, I have a life, and I run it like you! Yes, I'm a Deaf person. (I have two sons grow up big boys now)
I'm as Deaf as you can imagine.
