My sister in law just finished up a PhD in Deaf Education. You mentioned that you're at a school for the deaf now - which one? She went to Flagler, Gallaudet and Columbia (not specifically a deaf school, but a good program for deaf ed).
This is a great story! We have a girl in our gym who is also deaf. I am going to print this out and let her read it. I know she gets discouurged sometimes. She has other issues as well. She was born in China and just came to this country 2 years ago!
Fantastic, inspirational story Bri! I always knew you were a beautiful person on the inside... but now I can see that you're absolutely gorgeous on the outside too!!! Keep up all your good work.
