July 6, 2013 Dream come true
It all started when I was about a year old, when my parents got the saddest news that they had ever received and had not been hoping for. My parents had found out I had a hearing loss. The day that changed my life forever was on May 10, 2011. May 2011 was the day that I had my skin grafting done for my ears. It had all started when I developed a hearing problem, which led me to getting my first pair of hearing aids. However, it also led me to spending most of my childhood in the hospital. The reason I was in the hospital was because I had to have several sets of tubes put in my ears, because of my hearing loss. I often got picked on, beaten up, and also had my hearing aids broken several times in middle school. I remember one beautiful spring day I was so happy because we had a guest speaker that day. After the speaker had left as the class was heading back to the class room, these two average height popular, snobby girls decided to try and ruin my day. The girls started picking on me that day. I remember these days like it was yesterday, the flowers were blooming and the sun was shining. I also got to wear my favorite green skirt with dark green flowers on it.
The reason the two average height girls started picking on me was because the girls were jealous that I was 75lbs and skinner than them. As a result of the hearing loss I also got special attention due to my hearing disabilities. However, because the girls kept picking on me I had become frightened and nervous to come to school every day. When I graduated from middle school the bullying finally stopped. As a result of not wearing the hearing aids anymore, I almost went deaf, and was put into special education classes that only had about 3-5 students in the class. I was put in the class because I was ashamed that I had to wear the hearing aids every day. The day I
