My name's Samuel and I've been deaf since I was born. When I was younger I had a lot of problems because I can't comunicate with other people, but I went to a special school with other children like me. Now I'm nineteen and I go to the university and I have a lot of friends and a girlfriend. My life is very normal.
Life is different in some things. For exemple, I would like to hear the birds, or the sound of the beach... Anyway, I have a peculiarity, I'm very used to reading the lips of people and I know what they're saying to me.
I need help with the lessons in the university, and things like this. But in general I don't need so much help.
I can't stand going to the disco, because I see people dancing and they are very happy, but I can't listen the music and it depress me. And the thing that annoy me is when people think that I don't know what they're saying to me and they say stupid things and I know exactly what they say.

Well done. You've done a nice job of putting yourself in a deaf person's shoes. I would imagine, however, that at a disco a deaf person could feel the rythym of the music. I would guess that they might be able to enjoy it too. :>)
