Hello!
My name is Deidra and I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I am 22 years old and I am a full time student in the practical nursing program. I am African American and a growing Christian woman
I love God and love people so ya'll should have no problem getting along with me.
I lost my hearing when I was a preschooler and wear one hearing aid in my right ear. I am completely deaf in the left - which could be a good thing because I don't have to pay for a full pair
My goal in life is to simply follow my dreams no matter what anyone says. Throughout my life I had several people saying that I could not do things because of my disability and not suprisingly, I let them tell me that and failed miserably for a little while. But soon after, I picked myself up and told myself that I am capable of doing ANYTHING with God on my side.
And what do you know? Prayer works. Now that I am in nursing school, I've already accomplished half of my goals. Anyways, I don't want to ramble on but let me make this short:
Don't ever give up. Being deaf or hard of hearing should never stop you from reaching your goals - it didn't stop me!
