Several years ago, I wrote an emotionally difficult article titled "Will I Reach My Goal?" It was about a book I was writing. The book describes my life and what it was like being hard of hearing in the 60s and 70s without any support in the schools. It covers my experiences within the deaf community and how difficult it was when I lost more hearing from
