I thought I was normal, but that thought went away. I was scared, scared that I would never be the same. I thought I would be treated differently. So when I walked into the room all I could see was doctors all around me. I am deaf, deaf is all I&#8217;ll ever be. I thought why? why me? Why could this be happening to me? It&#8217;s been four years now. And I wonder how, how could this be? I feel how normal this could be. I finally realized that I&#8217;d somehow get over the fact that I&#8217;m deaf, and deaf is all I will ever be. Being deaf has not taken control of me. Not yet at least. I still have my sense of smell, sight, feel, and taste. If I lost those I would loose control. But at least I lost one and not another. I am blessed with just one and not two, or three. Being deaf does not stop me from being &#8220;Me.&#8221; I can still be a poet, writer, or maybe an artist. So deaf is not all I&#8217;ll ever be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/exclusiveink\/?s=elyzabeth&amp;submit.x=0&amp;submit.y=0\" target=\"_blank\">ELYZABETH<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>One day I woke up and Everything changed.
