I just can't believe how amazing this thread has been up to so far. Everyone is sharing their experiences regarding of what background we've came from. The variety of each's journey has brought us all to a closer place to scrutinize our commons. At some point, we find our place and the sense of where we actually belong to. I don't think it's just all about the deaf pride or deaf power kind of thing. It just means that we all have been through this at one point in our lives to experience the frustrations of being restricted, having limited accommodations, so and on.
I've always been brought up to fight for something that you believe in and stand up for yourself. Certainly, it isn't easy to stand up for yourself at a big group or someone who is higher than you - but it always prevails in the end. The point is, Once we've found our place, that is when we can go forward to look at a better light. Yet, We can help others too. In the end, I hope it will bridge the gaps for both worlds. I'm dreaming, am I? lol.
I strongly believe that the more we talk about this, the more the words comes out to be presented for people who have no knowledge or little knowledge of how it is like to be deaf mongering in the hearing world to be able to see it from another perspective. With that, It will help open some few eyes, hopefully.
