write three sentences on how you would feel if you were blind deaf and domb
Answers
Answer:
I am one of these people. I was born profoundly deaf and very nearsighted (making me legally blind), so I could not learn how to lipread. The same disabilities robbed me of speech, so I had to go through life without ever learning how to utter a sentence the way most of us do. I had a challenging childhood with my biological family, as they were not well-equipped for children with special needs. Fortunately, I had my initially closed world opened up by a foster family who would later adopt me as one of their own. This family worked at a special needs education agency, and used Signing Exact English, a close relative of ASL, to help me communicate with them. As I grew up, I discovered that my mind had been altered by the sensory deficiencies I was born with. It was like the Buddhist monk finding that his mind was trapped in a meditative state after he had risen from his lotus position. As all sounds below 90 decibels are undetected, I live in a virtually silent world, and I take full advantage of my vision and other senses. My adoptive family saw that I was a strong autodidact, supplementing my education with voracious readings and intense curiosity. They even administrated several IQ tests, to find out my extent, and to their surprise, they were working with someone the equivalent of S. Ramanujan! Education was a major challenge, as I could not rely on conventional lecture methods independently, but I made it effective by bringing in an interpreter. This was the breakthrough I achieved when I made plans to mainstream my education after a few years in special education, at the agency my family had worked at. The people at the regular education school welcomed me with open arms, and encouraged me to teach sign language to my classmates, as a way of forming friendships with them. Even as the only deaf/blind student at the school, I became well-connected and teachers found themselves being mentored by me, in a role reversal. I continued with the interpreter strategy, all the way to a double major doctoral degree in May 2011, in two fields of chemistry! My research on graphene and the strategies of engineering its energy states garnered the Distinguished Dissertation Award at the campus (SUNY Albany) I studied at. Although my mind cannot hear, it sees in remarkable colors and imagery, as if it had a heads-up display integrated into my view. Being a visual learner has really helped me think in unorthodox ways, and find ways to communicate with people. Last year, I wrote the first draft of my autobiography, Silent Paradox, discussing my experiences with society and its drive for normalcy, and its effects on my journey. Thus, it means that people who accept their natural limitations become aware of what they can do when they push their boundaries away. You have to encourage people with disabilities to recognize that they can challenge the mirage of normalcy society keeps putting up around us, and challenge it head-on. In a way, when negative aspects of something are thrown away, and good parts focused upon, we realize that the 'supposedly bad things in society's eyes' were not so dangerous and worth embracing as part of our uniqueness.
