Things I Am Thankful For

Things I am most thankful for:

• My family - you all are the best, without your support and love, I would not be where I am today.

• My boyfriend - for your honesty, love, support and for accepting me for who I am, the good, the bad, and the weird. And for putting up with my blogging addiction.

• My friends - you guys are the greatest. Thanks for listening to me when I rant about work and life in general and for being honest with me even if it hurt like hell. 

• My students - thanks for keeping my job interesting and tolerable, I love you guys. Without you guys, I would be working in another profession. 

• My readers - thanks for reading my blog and responding to me by leaving comments and sending me emails (even the mean ones). Without you guys, I would not have enjoyed blogging so much. 

• DeafRead and Deaf Village - thanks again for including my blog on your site. 

• My hearing aid - thanks for helping me get through some tough situations.

• ASL teachers - thank you for teaching me ASL and introducing me to this interesting world of the deaf and hard of hearing that I did not know about until I took your classes. 

• My hearing loss - for being partially responsible for making me who I am today. Thanks to you, I have had plenty of difficult and awkward moments, from which I learned tremendously and became a stronger person as a result. 

Thank you,
