Well, I wont lie..I am sure u will encounter people who will have strong anti-CI views but dont let that stop u. Heck, when I first got involved with the Deaf community at around 28 years old, I was very awkward with ASL and many people bashed me for being a "hearing" wannabe but I told them off and still kept on going. Found a handful of people in the Deaf community that I really click with and since then it has been good. Of course, not everyone is gonna be the best of friends in the Deaf community just like in the Hearing community. Just remember that each person doesnt represent a whole community.
