How do you view yourself as a deaf?

I feel like a wonderful mother, wife, daughter and sister. I feel that I am a proud Deaf person, just as I feel I am a proud follower of my Lord and Savior. I feel that ASL has opened many doors for me, and lead me into a wonderful life, where I can fully understand. But I also feel that my ability to hear some sounds, and hopefully more soon, has also opened many doors for me. I feel as if I have it all. I can access the hearing world with no issues (or I could, hopefully again soon) and I can access the Deaf world with no issues. I am bilingual and bicultural. I am me. I am deaf, and thats just fine.
