Wow, this is very exciting as this is my first time with blogs. I've never blogged in my whole life until now! Writing is not really a big deal to me, but it is mandatory since I am leaning toward majoring in history. I really love history and I always get fascinated by old stories, myths, or legends. Okay, I believe I should introduce myself now.
I was born in Wisconsin and I live only fifteen minutes from Milwaukee. I live in South Milwaukee and yes, it is a city. Many people thought I meant by living in the south side of Milwaukee and i had to explain that South Milwaukee is actually a city! Wisconsin is a wonderful state to live in because it's convenient to live in because there's almost no natural disasters at all! I was born deaf and it was caused by a disease my mother had while she was pregnant with me. So, she passed it on to me and caused me to become deaf. I'm the only deaf family member of my whole family, so you can imagine how boring thanksgiving was! I have two sisters and both are in college. Andrea, my oldest sister is twenty two and she's a graduate at University of Minnesota and my other sister, Jessica is nineteen and is a sophmore at Winona State in Minnesota. I guarantee that nobody at Gallaudet University nor people who live on campus has the same name as me because my first name is very unique. Maybe, this will help you in figuring out who I am. If you want a hint, my name is same as a city in Texas. My father named me after his childhood street where he was raised on and I still don't know the reason behind it. hmm, I grew up going to public schools and I was practically the only deaf person in my mainstreamed schools, heck even in my hometown! After I graduated from middle school, I decided to enroll at Wisconsin School for the Deaf. It was a tough decision to make considering I'm a hour away from home and I never had any daily contact with deaf people. The reason I made this decision is because I wanted to be with people that is like me, deaf. I didn't want to continue to be known as the "deaf guy" in public schools. I wanted everyone to recognize me as who I am, not my disability. Anyway, I graduated from Wisconsin School for the Deaf and I was the valedictorian of my class of 2009.
Let's see. I love to play! I practicaly play anything from sports to video games! I'm always up for a challenge. I'm a shy person, but once you get to know me, I'm a very friendly person and outgoing as well! :) well I think that's all I can say about myself so far!
