I Was The Youngest And Only Girl

I'm Not Broke. Like Everybody Else, I Owe Money.

The Handicap Of Deafness Is Not In The Ear; It Is In The Mind.

It Was Ability That Mattered, Not Disability, Which Is A Word I'm Not Crazy About Using.

I'm A Proud Person Who Happens To Be Deaf. I Don't Want To Change It. I Don't Want To Wake Up And Suddenly Say, 'oh My God, I Can Hear.' That's Not My Dream. It's Not My Dream. I've Been Raised Deaf. I'm Used To The Way I Am. I Don't Want To Change It. Why Would I Ever Want To Change? Because I'm Used To This, I'm Happy.

There Are Many Deaf People Who Couldn't Imagine Living In A Marriage Without Someone Who Doesn't Speak Their Language. For Me, I Believe That Hearing Or Deaf Is Fine As Long As Both Parties Are Willing To Communicate In Each Other's Language. But If There's No Communication, Then The Marriage, I Believe, Will Be Difficult If Not Doomed.
