I always have at least one book with me, usually two or three. This is just because I worry about suddenly being bored with my book or stumbling across a topic I don't really want to read about at the moment, or finishing the book and not having another, so I just keep a few on hand whenever I...

I am very happy for Malala - she really earned the prize! I read the book she wrote, which was really good, and helped me understand/realize what things Malala has been doing for female education (and other things, as well). I hope she continues on for many years to come! -Jason

I'm not allowed to give out my precise age (sorry), but I am in high school (to give you an idea of the age bracket I'm in). Thanks for the writing compliment! (: -Jason

That's what I thought about my writing - but a few years ago I had this feeling to sit down and write. Since then I haven't written very much of significance - but I've enjoyed myself! Over the course of this summer, I developed two storylines that I got quite passionate about, and although...

My dream job is to be an English and Mathematics teacher, and an author on the side. -Jason

I guess it's just that they are used to you being able to do all these things and stay up half the night. They are probably just adjusting to your having a job, and will soon believe/understand you. But for now, take it as a compliment that they are wanting to hang out with you. Seems like you...

Terrifickmb - I don't know if you live in Canada or not, but if you do, I have heard fantastic things about the Lions Club 'Dog Guides of Canada' program. -Jason

I remember once someone totally butchered my first name while trying to spell it: they spelled it 'Jaiysdon'... Not sure where they got the 'd' from, but I can somewhat understand the other letters being placed there. :P -Jason

I didn't mind, it puts a smile on my face every time I think about it for some reason. Things like that moment you, WDYS!, had are always funny to think back about! (P.S: I will continue searching for that topic, although later on, since I just quickly popped onto AD to see what was new) -Jason

I know that that in itself (worries about night time) is a reason many people get a dog, regardless of whether it is a hearing ear dog or a regular one. A dog can provide a sense of security. I think WDYS! has had a hearing ear dog, and I think I have read of other people as well who have...

Here's one of my stories: Last year, I was in science class, and we got all our work done early in class and so the teacher had us start up a game of Bingo for us all to play. All of the kids went along with it, but most weren't very interested, and so they were all talking (very loudly) to...

Hello! I don't know if there is a topic like this around (I did look for a bit, but I don't think I saw one - although I may have accidentally skipped over a topic or two while looking around). If there is a topic similar to this one, please just let me know, thanks! Basically, I just wanted to...

Agreed (although I'm HOH). In math today, I had a substitute teacher, and all the other kids took advantage of this as a good day to talk to each other. I was having trouble concentrating on my schoolwork, so I just took my hearing aids out, blocking out a good portion of the noise. Solved that...

Yeah, I like my name. My first and middle names are pretty common (Paul is fairly common, my first name is also somewhat common), but both names are rare enough that I usually don't run into another person about my age with either of them. -Jason

Where's a like button when you need it? -Jason

Oh, I don't mind - they're cool GIFs, just wanted to know if there's a reason. Keep on rockin'! -Jason

I've never been a fan of football. Nor hockey (does that make me a bad Canadian?). -Jason

I want that dog. :P But, call me clueless, why did you post that? -Jason

We aren't 'differently abled' - we just can't hear, or in my case can't hear very well. I understand you do not mean anything by that statement, but our being medically HOH/deaf does not make us differently abled, which may sound weird to you considering I am basically saying 'We can't hear but...
