At Some Point We Have

I Am Writing My Second Novel For Children For Simon And Schuster.

I Live My Life Like Everyone Else; Everyone Has Their Own Obstacles. Mine Is Deafness.

I'm A Proud Person Who Happens To Be Deaf. I Don't Want To Change It. I Don't Want To Wake Up And Suddenly Say, 'oh My God, I Can Hear.' That's Not My Dream. It's Not My Dream. I've Been Raised Deaf. I'm Used To The Way I Am. I Don't Want To Change It. Why Would I Ever Want To Change? Because I'm Used To This, I'm Happy.

I've Always Wanted To Write A Book Relating My Experiences Growing Up As A Deaf Child In Chicago. Contrary To What People Might Think, It Wasn't All About Hearing Aids And Speech Classes Or Frustrations.

There Are Many Deaf People Who Couldn't Imagine Living In A Marriage Without Someone Who Doesn't Speak Their Language. For Me, I Believe That Hearing Or Deaf Is Fine As Long As Both Parties Are Willing To Communicate In Each Other's Language. But If There's No Communication, Then The Marriage, I Believe, Will Be Difficult If Not Doomed.
