I work at the Beaumont YMCA and have had the pleasure of meeting a man who is Deaf. It's so interesting because I've worked there for over a year now and did not know he was Deaf and he comes to the pool every Tuesday and Thursday. The only way I figured out he was Deaf was that I went to Fayette Mall on the first Friday of this month for the silent meeting and he was there! It makes me wonder how many other people I have passed at work or outside of school in general who are Deaf.
Just a thought to ponder
Thanks for sharing your experience. It really does make me wonder how many times this could have happened to me without me ever knowing or realizing.
ReplyDeleteI have felt this way before many times. I used to work at chick fil a back home and there were many deaf people who would gather for dinner every once and a while. I only wish that I would have known ASL then.
