I am in a ASL class in college, and it has opened my eyes to a brand new world! Soon I will be married to a Marine, and I have found that there are a lot of girls with Marine husbands who know ASL but I don't have a single deaf friend. I don't know much about the rules/etiquette, but I think that you girls are very strong! Sincerely, Michelle Two Hearts Hey Girls,
I’m a hearing girl from South Dakota, your stories are breathtaking & although I have not had the same struggles as ya’ll, but I have faced oppression, mostly because I’m Native American.

You are an amazing young man who is doing so much good. Keep it up. I know a young woman who was a deaf cheer leader, became a high school teacher, a wife and mother, then had a Chochlear Implant. We watched her struggle with her new found sounds and succeed. Thanks again for the great things you are doing. May the Lord bless you. Congratulations David.

I came across this website and started reading around and was surprised to hear that you live in TN too!! i live in franklin, TN! I'm a hearing student at Gate Communications. I'm currently taking ASL 1 but going into ASL 2. I plan to continue with Gate all through college and so on. Right now I'm really leaning towards becoming an interpreter. I have a heart for the deaf community and I'm learning as much as I possibly can about the deaf/hard of hearing culture! I really want to help reach out to deaf/hard of hearing teens!! I got really excited when I came across this website and especially your page!! I know I am fairly new to everything I would like to help out as much as I can! Do you have any tips/advice about how I could go about reaching out to deaf teens now?? Thanks! Tori Dear joEllen,

I think this is a great website! My daughter has Ci since age 20 months. She is mainsstreamed, has lots of friends and doing very well. She is also bilingual. I forwarded this website to her. I am sure she would love to hear from some other hearing impaired teens. Hi, I read about the website in the AG Bell magazine and logged on immediately. I think this is a great website!
