I am thankful that many people are understanding
towards me but there is a few aren't:

I was working with two Freshman girls on in class
Italian project on the months, they treated me as I
didn't know what I was talking about when I did. Could
this be because they probably never worked with a
person with a hearing loss before? What should I do
the next time people treat me like that?

I am teaching my nephews American Sign Language and
trying to teach them that Aunt Sue has a hearing loss
but is a normal, breathing person like them are.

Thanks! Could I tell that to the other deaf graduate
from my high school tomorrow (It is graduation).
