Some ivies did not know what does hearing mean if they haven't meet any deafies?
At cornell, I had conservation with old roommate...ask me why did I called myself as deaf but tell me about it. He noticed I used alarm clock and videophone and not able to wear headphone or cd player while using laptop. I told I am not hearing, he ask what does it really mean. I did not realize he haven't meet any deafies before, I explained to him then later he learned what it means in few months later.
Other one of my ex dating, she seem learned about deaf but do not know why I called her she is hearing, she tell me I cannot hear song or anything while she hear then tell me something.
When I brought my old friend from hs, he is hearing, introduce to them, they talked to them...sometime I did not get it...my ex dating seem feel bad for me cuz I brought friend who is student there.
Later, my dating and other friends met my schoolmate is really different from me...he is really busy with school and fraternity, in case, he is president of fraternity and lots of ask about him. He has fiancee who is hearing and now is first year at harvard law. He always lie about me and he told my friends that deaf is really disability and special need make me pissed off. My ex dating is really understand why he has no respect of me but no idea what hearing really mean. I never say things about hearing make other looks bad who cannot see any deafies. I wasn't surprise not many hearing know what it means at cornell and difference from csun.
