A fascinating memoir, I read it on one solar day.

I read this for my 2d ASL course and information technology was enlightening to see the everyday struggles a Deafened person may face— united states of america hearing folks may "know," merely we don't really know. The crazy stories Drolsbaugh shares are entertaining and informative, inconceivable and jaw-dropping (similar the time his mom gave birth to him and the epidural wasn't really in her back like they thought it was, and when they finally listened to her screams of pain and administered anesthesia, the motorcar was broken and they wer I read this for my 2nd ASL class and it was enlightening to run into the everyday struggles a Deafened person may face up— us hearing folks may "know," but we don't really know.

It'south a good thing they *untied* one of her hands then she could sign that she couldn't breathe. Oops!).
Overall this was a quick and insightful read with lots of wild stories and skilful advice. One problem I had with it was the writing. There were a lot of sentences with exclamation marks! And then there would be a period. Maybe 2. But then there would be another exclamation again! I kind of felt like this was written for kids, just honestly, I think this is a skillful book for kids to read.
Anyway, I accept a report on this book that I urgently demand to get back to, but the Goodreads review was more important. ...more

Marks story deals with alot of frustrations he'southward had to face cause of his own hearing, they are the aforementioned feelings I've had but have never been able to put into words.

I highly recommend this volume to whatever and everyone. If you yourself is difficult of hearing or you lot know someone who is or you know someone who is deaf or you lot are simply curious about the deaf world!

This book was required for one of my ASL classes in higher, merely I actually enjoyed reading information technology! The writing way is a little crude and sometimes jumps around or is repetitive, just I loved that the message was all nigh becoming a function of Deaf culture. It was really all well-nigh accepting Deafness, joining Deaf culture, and being proud of being deaf. Mark wrote a very eye opening story with aspect of Deaf culture and ASL that I never would have thought about before.

The unproblematic answer is that people recall Deafened individuals are "missing out" on a "hearing world" all because they tin't hear. Wrong! Everyone experiences the world differently, and it's astonishing how much Deafened people can reach when given the proper resource and surroundings as they develop. Equally a psych major myself, I was surprised at the amount of psychological info Drolsbaugh included, simply I learned a thing or two that I hadn't learned in my previous psych classes. Had this not been an assigned reading for my ASL2 class, I probably wouldn't take picked it up on my own and read information technology but… I definitely am glad that I had the opportunity to. Seeing Drolsbaugh'southward growth throughout the pages put me on a rollercoaster of emotions, simply it was definitely a story that I felt fortunate enough to read virtually. I can only promise that other Deaf individuals become through a like path every bit Drolsbaugh and discover their pride in the Deaf community/culture, and their identity as a Deaf person equally a whole! ...more

FAV QUOTES:

I of the hardest fights a deaf homo has to fight is to live in a world where every unmarried day someone is trying to make him hear.

As opposed to overcoming deafness, this volume expresses the joys of finding deafness.

An former Zen maxim applies here: Empty your cup and then that information technology may be filled. Deafness emptied my cup.

Nearly every weekend I would detect myself in the aforementioned predicament: My college friends would finish by on Friday night, raving nigh a great party I couldn't afford to miss. I'd politely turn down, citing my responsibilities a work the next day. They, in turn, would cite my responsibilities as a beer-chugging party fauna.

At that historic period, children are naturally egocentric; I couldn't help merely recollect that the other kids were receiving the same warped input as I was. I didn't really believe at the fourth dimension that something might exist seriously wrong with me.

When hearing parents (in my case, grandparents) first learn that their child is deaf, it can be very overwhelming. It is a shock, a tremendous shock, and it sets off a reaction that is like to the stage of grief (daze, denial, anger, low, the whole works). The difference is, they are not grieving a dead person. They are grieving for someone who is very much live, and in the process can greatly influence that person.

Unbeknownst to them, the mixed bulletin I received was, "Nosotros honey y'all, but deafness is a horrible condition. You've got to be stock-still." What are the psychological implications of such a message? To me, it meant I had to deny who I really was, and that somehow I had to pretend that I could hear. Information technology meant I had to chocolate-brown-nose hearing paper, act similar them, act similar I understood them, and remove myself from anything associated with deafness. In other words, sign language was verboten. I was told not to sign and I respectfully complied.

How can you arraign people for wanting what they truly believe is best for y'all?

No affair what I say, the question e'er remains: How could a deaf kid be surrounded past so much deafness in his family and not internalize it as part of his own identity?

It'south hard to reply questions you don't understand.

The teachers were not content with only answers; they wanted more questions.

Whether amusing or abrasive, we owe it to our children to answer as many of their whys as possible. When nosotros accept the time to practise this, children internalize crucial information. This greatly enhances their overall evolution in terms of thought processing and general noesis acquisition.

Many sounds are adjacent to impossible to decipher no thing where they originate. For instance, 'b', 'p', and 'chiliad' look virtually identical from a lip-reading assessment. If Ben is 1 of the men who got a new pen, it's going to have me awhile to effigy information technology out. If Marker went to the park, or if mom is the bomb, I'm scratching my head. Is that Matt at bat, or is information technology Pat? Pass the aspirin, please.

Man interaction is a blessing; it is such a waste to discriminate.

I was deafened. I grew up with a bare slate that allowed me to see things from a more neutral perspective. In other words, deafness emptied my cup. Thank you to deafness I can run into the different religions simply as they are, without any bias. It has helped me larn then much virtually people--both the good and the bad--and I literally thank God for deafness.

If these were the twilight years, why shouldn't they relish every minute of it?

I was shut, only never equal.

Somewhen I got a function-time job as a supermarket clerk. It was okay, nothing fancy. To me, it was the stop of the route. Since this job was non that bad for a deaf guy, I made it my career goal. Maybe someday I could manage the general merchandise department, who knows. Fifty-fifty if that never happened, I was even so doing pretty good--because, everybody, sing along with me: Not bad for a deaf guy.

I realized I could routinely accomplish what I had once thought was impossible.

But the martial arts had succeeded in teaching me a valuable lesson; I learned that when we carry down and put our minds to it, we can accomplish anything.

Remember, we're talking well-nigh a naïve deafened kid who still had a lot of growing upwardly to do. The words girls, beach, keg political party, and bear bong still held a lot more appeal than, say, information technology's time to beginning thinking about what you want to practice with your life.

Nosotros were forever young, at least until we hit twenty-one.

Couldn't these people just leave me lonely? Couldn't they cease poking around in my ears? Although I never really spoke up when I was younger, deep down inside I always wished that people would stop obsessing over my ears. I simply wanted them to appreciate me, the whole person. Couldn't they finish trying to fix me and just accept me for who I was? That was all I ever wanted.

Y'all've passively accepted everything that's ever happened to you lot. You didn't have a pick. You were solitary in the hearing earth, only information technology's non like that here. At Gallaudet you can be annihilation you want. Y'all tin can speak upwards for yourself. -Vijay

I realized that in the hearing world, I'd grown accepted to the futility of information technology all. Namely sit downwardly and shut up; wear your hearing assistance; never mind, information technology'southward not important; I'll tell you later, merely do what your teacher says.

I didn't know what I was missing--that'south what I now tell everyone who argues against my belief that deaf children should have the opportunity to interact with others like themselves. I accept had many not-culturally deaf people tell me that they are doing great in the hearing world, getting past on oralism and never signing, and that they are happy and successful doing and so. I, besides, was once similar that. I was proud of my condition as the just deaf graduate of GFS; I was proud of my chore at the supermarket; I was proud of my power to interact with hearing people quite well. And I just didn't know what I was missing.

I frequently zoned out. I was a space cadet, and a frequent flyer at that.

We larn how to live life, the virtually important lesson of all.

Never be satisfied; strive for more than. -Ms. Childs

In that location are countless wonders in this globe, and endless ways to enjoy them.

Allow u.s.a. enjoy what we can, and don't worry nearly what we can't. I feel that we're amend off jubilant our differences instead of imposing our values onto each other.

The cure for deafness is our deafened children... Tolerance and understanding are the all-time lessons we can teach our children... -Chris deHahn

Deafness is a disability that is so unique, its very nature causes a culture to emerge from it.

I tin can't emphasize plenty how much information technology means to take a sense of belonging. People need to realize that in that location's a big difference between "plumbing fixtures in" and "belonging." Plumbing equipment in is something I did when I immersed myself in the hearing world. Fitting in requires endeavour. It's exhausting and y'all can as well argue that it's not really genuine considering to one degree or the other, it involves trying to win other people's blessing. Belonging, on the other hand, is a far more rewarding miracle where you can kick back, exist yourself, and know you are accepted.

This is a great book for anyone who loves autobiographies or for ANYONE who is interested in teaching.

Marker Drolsbaugh offers a slap-up perspective on how his teaching (both the positive and negative experiences) led him to who he is now.

As an aside, Mark is able to touch controversies in Deaf culture both humorously and frankly without trying to persuade you that all other views are wrong.
