That's okay. That's the normal way some people were born being deaf, some people were born being blind, and so on.... Some people are handicapped, you know?
Well, I went to a special class at school for all of the deaf kids like me... when I became teenager, I went to Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind at Staunton, VA. I graduated there in 1995. As I am growing older, now I do see more and more new deaf kids and adults out here anywhere in different states.

And, my girlfriend is deaf too. But she was not raised here in USA because her family moved here from Cuba. First, she lived in FL for a few years, then moved to Virginia Beach near me when I met her in 1996.
