Turn Around

I want to change
I want to improve
To be better,
Not just for me,
for my future family,
and of course my family now.
I'm so grateful that I can.
That I have this amazing chance
To change, for the better.
....IDK if this is really good, but....:D do not judge me ;D

c.o.d.a.

Let me first explain to you, in case you don't know what a c.o.d.a. is... it's a child, of, deaf, adults, or adult. :D
Being a coda, is pretty much being a different race. Not meaning that in a typical way, whether you're Mexican, Latino, African-American, Native American, European, Asian, and many other nationalities, were all the same. Because... were different. I personally love being a coda, knowing a whole other language, that is spoken silently. To be involved in the deaf culture, and I'm thankful for my parents.
My parents, somewhat, pardon the language, went through hell. To give me the life, which I have now. They were out-casts, because they couldn't fully understand people, because they were "scary". But I think the reason why people were afraid of them, was because they are different. And I LOVE them for that.
My parents were raised orally. My mom went to a school, in California, where I think they had a very tiny small deaf program, and it was midstream. My Dad was sent off to a boarding school, for the deaf and blind.....(btw don't ask me how that worked) Their parents did the best thing they could for them at that, time and age.
PART OF THE DEAF CULTURE
personally for my family, and a couple others, we have some common expectations, of the deaf culture. That is in our blood.:D
- Being the first to arrive.
- Being the last one to leave.
- Chatting forever! I love this, because then I can chill with my friends forever!
- Being basically friends, with all deaf people.
- Blunt.
- Not being afraid to tell someone they're bugging you.
- of course ASL! :D
Well that's only a little bit, of my life.... I love the deaf people in my life, and I'm proud of it... :D

My first post!

I cannot believe, that the first Month of summer is gone.
I'm so happy that I didn't waste any day. I enjoyed every single day. whether it be on vacation, or it's at a sleep over, or chilling at my house.
:D
On my vacations, they're spiritual, or silly. :D
I think my first vacation, was Martins cove. That was just an amazing experience. The story of the LDS pioneers, who gave up their lives, their time, and their personal belongings. For the sake of the faith, that we both share. I hope that one day I will have the same amount of faith that they have. :D I'm really happy that we had amazing leaders, my "Ma & Pa" were the best temporary parents, I could ask for. :D and my siblings, cousins, Aunt and Uncle. Were just amazing, whether it be, chiling around the camp fire laughing, and teasing. Or in Matins Cove, I always enjoyed all of their company.
My second vacation was pretty darn amazing too! :D First my sister and her husband drove us down to Moab, to catch up with my legitimate parents. When we arrived my mom, left us her credit card, and said that dinner was on her! we went searching throughout the town, looking for a bite to eat. When we came across a small diner. Which actually turned out to be my favorite place to have dinner or lunch :D. In Moab, I gotta socialize a lot with deaf people, and find out many things, like finding out that my friends uncle is missing his left index finger. ;D. But there was also the beautiful land scaping, and the prime dirt hill. :D
The rest of the first month, was spent having camp fires at friends houses, having sleepovers, and watching, "Thunder Cats." in my friends basement. :D "HO-O!" haha! best 80's cartoon show, next to "HE-Man" :D
I hope I don't waste the next two months of my summer. :D
