dear mom, dad, sister, and brother,
I wrote this to you because I want a cochlear implant because I am deaf, and it has always been my dream to her the radio on a rainy day. To her you speak. I want to gain independence for myself I want to be able to hear the birds chirping and the sound of the old truck starting up.
I want to be looked at as someone who can hear when you call my name I don't want to be the "deaf girl" like how I was in school. I want to be able to hear the keyboard of the computer when I type this to you. and last i want to be able to be looked at as if i was one of the main stream girls who can hear and see all on there own.
P.S. i am deaf and just go my implant and i am over the moon happy that i can hear all of this stuff (i am still in school tho)
