Don’t give up

Dedicated to Rhonda Jennings, and other teachers who believed in me

When you feel downright lousy
When you are low
When it seems like the world is falling apart
When you feel like your dreams is beyond repair
And you are ready to surrender
Don’t give up Don’t give up

I have something to tell you
You may think you have lost the battle
You haven’t lost the war yet.
Keep on fighting
Fight until the last breath
Don’t give up Don’t give up

Mmmmm Nope
Its not time to surrender
There is no time and place to surrender
There never will be a time to give up
I believe in you, oh yeah I believe in you
Don’t give up don’t give up just yet

Just don’t let your fear get in the ways of your dreams
Don’t let it take over your life
You are stronger than your fears
Unlock your potentials and don’t let them go to waste
Don’t give up don’t give up just yet
You can do it
Fight with your might
Victory is yours if you work hard and never give up
Don’t let go of your goals
It’s right there beside victory
You can reach it if you believe you can
I believe in you, oh yeah I believe in you
Don’t give up don’t give up just yet

Deaf Culture

Imagine living in a world in which you have not heard a single sound, not even lyrics from romantic songs. Imagine describing your feelings with only hands. Loud claps are replaced with waving hands. Imagine not having a verbal voice. Imagine learning about the world, how things work, chemical reactions only through your eyes. Imagine being in a world that is muted and loud. How is it possible to have a world that is muted and loud? It is possible because not a word is spoken from tongues but expressed in rapid movements of the hands. Our body language is loud and sprinkled with facial expressions. We have a language of our own that is a treasure to our culture. The world I am speaking of is the Deaf Culture. Deaf Culture, like other cultures, has it's own traditions, moral,values, etiquette, and beliefs. The people in Deaf Culture call themselves Deaf, note the capitalized D. I will update my blog often with more information on Deaf Culture in America and ASL. I am proud to be a Deafie! For more information contact me at my email mentioned in my profile.
