“Every Deaf child deserves to have a Deaf role model to mentor him or her. It truly makes a difference.”
The Compassionate Friend Emily Livermore, 2013 Graduate Fremont, California Gallaudet University Student Psychology Major
At CSD, I was a hard working athlete and leader. I loved being part of a team and participated in many clubs and sports teams at CSD. I didn’t have this opportunity at my previous school. Every parent should follow what makes their Deaf child happy; do whatever it takes to learn ASL and to join the Deaf community. I noticed that my friends who have bilingual (ASL and English) homes are very well adjusted. This is a surefire way for Deaf children to develop confidence. With a confident Deaf child, you will know the answers to your child’s happiness. I value my Deaf friends and community. I worry about eugenics trying to eradicate Deaf people. Our world of diversity should not become a world of conformity.
