Deaf girl inspiration of Martin Luther King

I have always been inspired by MLK since i was a little kid.  When i was a little kid, i had wrong ideas about how people were black, i thought it was simply they were just out in the sun all the time, so they just became very tan or something.  then i learned at age 7 or so that the black people are born black.  also when i was very young, I used to thought one of my grandma was Black because she was soo dark skinned, but no she is white.  I have always been real cool with people of any color or any differences in them, i am open mind to any kind of people,   To me, if everyone was exactly the same, if we were all white and had no differences then the world would be very boring.   So i want everyone to follow MLK dream and combine everyone of any differences.  do not look at the color or hair or body type or a disability, Look at the kind of a person she or he is first.  even a person who wears all black and looks like a Gothic person or has tattoos on them, look pass that, see what kind of person he or she is first.   Also with the deaf community, i think it time that we combine everyone and accept everyone with CI, oral, not pro ASL, PSE, SEE, hard of hearing, CODA and more so we all can learn about eachother and work together.  it makes a world a better place…

Being only deaf kid in a hearing family…

 I describe whats it like to be the only deaf kid in family when it comes to holidays.  it usually gets pretty lonely and kinda challenging to have a conversation with the family who speaks only and too time consuming to write back and forth with paper according to the family.  I also asked about CODA Interpreting for their deaf parents, is it alright or not?  in my personal opinion, it depends on the situation, if the CODA kid wanted to interpret for their deaf parent, then it would only be in stores or resturants, or something not too personal.  i would like ur responds from CODA ppl and anyone!!!

 

Transcript:   hello all…  I want to tell u my story about what it like to be the only deaf kid in a hearing family, when it comes to holidays like christmas, thanksgiving and family gatherings.  my parents divorced when i was 6 years old so i had 2 families to choose from for the holidays.  so me and my brothers had to go visit each family in the same day during christmas and thanksgiving, it was not easy cuz i wanted to spend a day with just one family.  so it meant more foods, desserts, and more traveling around.  when i am with my family, i tend to be lonely and kinda just sit in the corner and watch everyone but yes i do help around by picking up the food or setting the table or stuff like that so i had something to do.  when i try to talk to people, i kinda get stuck cuz i am not sure what they are talking about and i don’t want to interrupt an conversation.    so it just easier just to sit back and be quiet.   I always wished there was a deaf person or a sign buddy with me so i could chat and have a conversation.   When i am quiet and not really able to chat with the people in the family, i always felt like i did not belong to the family.  yes i can speak but its really hard to hear what people are saying.
