I met my best friend in grade 2 and although we are still best friends our lives have taken different paths. We are both studying different degrees and at different universities so it makes it difficult to make time for each other.
My school we where required to take 2 additional languages no matter what. My school refused to treat any student differently although we had different teachers to teach the languages to those of use who were hearing impaired
I can speak for myself and because I'm not American I was born in South Africa, I wouldn't get married for a visa I would rather go through the channels needed to become a citizen
I was luck to go to a school which strived to ensure all students Hearing or HOH were fairly treated and got the best education possible. People in my old high school didn't see HOH or deafness as anything different from those whom can hear
Hey I'm Simone :)
I totally understand how you feel, I'm becoming HOH and it may get worse soon.
I'm starting to learn ASL right now.
I know what it is like to have friends who disappear when your life gets harder
