I will have more random thoughts ... here's one today.. As I was in the work meeting with our global imaging director, Todd Jensen, I was realizing how much thankful I am for my ability to be able to speak good most of the time. I am so thankful for my parents to decide whats the best thing for me when it comes to speech even though I stopped doing the speech therapy at age of 12 because I so really hated it. I am so grateful that I was raised orally instead of signing but i prefer doing both so can balance both hearing and deaf world...
Even though I'm shutting myself off from the deaf world due to bad experiences that has already lasted me a life time, I'm so glad I can continue both my ability to sign and speak with my husband.. I'm working on teaching him , even though I'm so bad at it. That's something I really need to work on... I also enjoy the feeling of being the only deaf person working at The Generations Network, because I dont have to worry about any deaf person causing gossip or drama at work like what i was experiencing a brief time working for Sorenson as a second job. I can be able to work in peace and be able to prove myself and be able to advance to any positions that i might be eligible for, or expand more experiences or skills that i can do.. My husband is continually expanding his skills which is more valuable at work and hes SO good at what he does.. i hope he can be able to advance more in the company and still enjoy what he does... I'm really happy for him.. I just hope i can do the same.

You are quite easy to understand compared to others in the deaf world, you're right about that. I know that I have a better background to try and understand those who are deaf anyways, because my grandmother and a couple of cousins of mine are/were deaf. But still.. it helps to be able to understand in the first place LOL :D
You are one amazing person, sis!! Way to go on finding the good in tough situations! I love ya!
