I watched a show on the documentry chanel today,the name was See What I'm Saying..Deaf performers.At first I didnt want to watch it,I had to think deep as to why so all I could come up with was that for most of my life I have had to be a deaf person in a hearing world that didnt care if I had a hearing problem or not.I was expected to just do it anyway so embraceing my deafness was something I dint do mostly I just didnt know but a fue other deaf people so I hadnt much experence within the community.This program brought out some things in me that allowed me to realise I can be as productive as a hearing person,I dont need to make excuses for my deafness (wich is a biggie for me)I have always done my best to be all I could be,but its hard when hearing people dont see the difrently able ablities I and opthers like me have.Once I had a co worker say somethig to me behind my back so I barely understood him,when I ask ..say again,I was told never mind I will do it myself.Yeah,it hurt my feelings but like always I shrughed it off..what else can I do.Any how watch the show if you can,its well worth it.
