growing up, i spoke a lot to parents of deaf kids to prove to them that yes "deaf kids can speak!"

in high school, was on a debate team. Loved the look on my partner's face when he got 78 and I got 98 (we were actually graded by our classmates, not our teacher) after he complained to the teacher about partnering up with me.

hahaha! dick.

I sometime felt nervous a bit when I was in a play once. I had done tried my 'speech' for science fair when I was in eighth grader.

Oh, hmm... I wonder, what was unusual about it?

I spoke while the rest of the deaf bloggers/vloggers signed.

That's right. I forgot you were a poster child.:giggle:

Yep, I was on the debate team, have done any number of presentations through graduate school, done presentations to inform the public about domestic violence, done presentations regarding accommodations to teachers for in-service, and taught. Not to mention the theater productions I have done.

It was. I've never felt uncomfortable speaking in public.

Me, either. When you know what you are talking about and are confident in your ability to communicate it, there is no need for anxiety. Plus some of us are people persons and some aren't.

Good. That means you were quite confident.

or just plain stubborn. My family used to tell me that all the time, that i was the most stubborn hard-headed person they had ever know. My sister emailed me the other day to say that I had a tendency to hurl myself into situations without fear when I was growing up.

i said thank god I did or I would have never found out how much I am capable of as a deaf person.

Online quizzes are not so fun when your 'friends" on facebook decided to add you to their list of friends to add before they could see the results and it gets posted to your wall. I hate that.

Dang! You sound a lot like my son. I used to think "I wish I could find something he was afraid of". I don't know where he got it!:lol:
