He said he only went to Gallaudet as a visiting student to take ASL classes. I could have passed him by not knowing it. However, I strongly doubt we had the same classes as I was a full time grad student at the time. I was married to my ex hubby and living in an apt in MD. I honestly don't even remember him in high school but I looked in my yearbooks and see him there. He said that he was the student manager for the high school softball teams when I played softball for my high school. He is in my softball pics but I don't remember him. He says he remembers me and said he had a crush on me and was intimidated by me. I was like, "huh? I wasn't all that together because I was struggling with self-esteem issues with being a mainstreamed deaf person." He said that I fooled him. I reconnected with several other people from my high school and they all have said the same thing. They said that I was really cool and gorgeous. Geez, if I knew back then, I wouldn't have been so hard on myself!
Shows how much I missed out by not having full access to communication so I thought people looked at me as inferior or didnt want me around. Now, I am finding out in the past few years as I reconnect with former high school classmates on FB that it was the total opposite.
