Firefighting Award

If it is a club, yes, give him the award. The only "maximum" I'm seeing is his age.

But it seem to me she don't give out the ones who will not be on the next level, so if he decided not , then I can see why she wanted an dedication type of award.


I still wished he didn't feel he can't go on to the next level though.

She never indicated what kind of hearing loss he has or it's severity. It could be a very wise and mature decision for him. I don't see why she would go to this trouble if she wasn't supportive of him. I am making an assumption, I understand, however it does seem apt. Our personal opinions on his abilities not withstanding, wouldn't you feel singled out, getting an award when others do not, just because you're deaf? I know I would. But, that is my opinion.
 
if I was him, I would feel single out that I can't go to the next level like most people can... if they wanted to. you have to be careful because just about every jobs out there seem very limiting or high risk for a deaf person when they are very capable of doing the job. We really shouldn't frightened them from every job opportunities .

btw those who decided not to move on to the next level, i don't know why they are not getting anything for their hard work. I mean, my son may not go to scout to be the leader, but he still got awarded

At least, that is the purpose of having an award or certificate to let him know he had done good at his hard work, even if he can not go to the next level.

I do hope someone did not discourage him for furthering him into the next level of becoming a firefighter even though he is aware of the danger of fighting the fires especially the big fires. I would hate that if someone discourage me and that would shatter my dream of becoming what I want to be. It is hard to find a job or career that Deaf person want so bad. Which is why it is not fair. :(
