Invite to New Year Eve party at my friend's barn. I never think I would be chatting with friends on the porch. I have brought a book to read while celebrating the New Year 2024 with them.
Somehow, I get attention to new faces and chatting with others. One person comes in since she was alone, separated from us, and friends called her to come to join us. I never thought about what she would say anything about family and name, etc.
I was normal quiet and shared laughter with them until a new person asked me to introduce myself as name, born here, and move forward and back here for living with my parents.
She started asking me if I was mainstreamed, and I said yeah. She said deaf school is better than mainstreamed. I was like, who doesn't care about deaf school. She said parents do not understand and do not use sign language, etc. I told her my parents used the sign language and she silence.
Her parents do sign language, so I did not give damm about deaf school. I choose not to go to deaf school, period. It is up to kids, preferably, and parents can be unaware of deaf culture. Who knows. I would go to mainstreamed if there are deaf programs, then no problem at all.
I don't give a damm!
