Greetings, Milisa and welcome aboard!  I hope you enjoy yourself 
as much as we do.
 
I can't speak for everyone but I believe there are a lot of us who 
are not a part of deaf culture but we all have a common bond.
 
I personally don't believe in deaf culture or deaf schools as I feel 
it is time for ALL to come out of isolation and eduate others in 
this world so we can all be a part of this universe as a whole.

Welcome aboard, Michael!

I'm not so sure I agree with what you've stated about the hearing
not giving the hearing impaired credit.  I really feel sometimes
it's just a misunderstanding or lack of communication.  But, that
is something we have to prove to them, even though I don't think
we should have to but it is the way it is.

I don't give up - I just keep showing them what we can do and what
is possible.
