Funny thing, I had resume that typed great and perfect, then people loved it.  They called me and learned I am deaf then DUMP me for no reason. Many years, I have told them I have lot of office experiences and do anything they could name it.  They not want deaf to work for them, why they not think that deaf has weak job experiences?

I remember from my dad who is manager of company.  He said, “you have to sell yourself to them.”  I did but they find out I am deaf then DUMP me by phone calls.  I come to company in person without INTERPRETER and had interview with them.  They won’t believe me because I am very strong person and challenged with them.  They falls in me and hires without hang up on me.

Resume send and mailed.  They called, hang on me without realized that I have been more in business than they think I would fail.   When I learned about that rumor and proved them wrong. I am normal human that cannot hear at all.  I come as normal and do same things.

One person I met who is deaf but can speak.  She never understand the lipreading and required interpreter to communication with, no matter ever she can speak.  She went to deaf school in her life.  They think she not need that entry so when they hired me as because of her job.  When I come to work and they noticed me much different than her.   I was mainstreamed in public school all the years, had interpreter in the classroom.  I CAN READ LIPS and understand them faster than her.  I don’t speak at all.  If you would like to hear me then you will laugh at me because I speak like kid!

Anything related to this.  Please do.

I have seen lot of people has not realized that they are using the FOG Light on their cars.  It is really bright when driving at night.  I have checked my car does not use fog light as it is off unless I would use it when I need them.

It actually blinds us when drive at night.  What about LED lights?  Oh, yes it is very different than fog lights on cars.  LED headlights been bright and see better but driving pass them is dangerous.  If you had the dim LED headlights then will be great!  Many times, they not take them down to dim.  Oh boy, I can’t see anything on rear mirror or try to protect the light reflect from mirror.

I drive one hand on wheel and other hand protect the light from mirror that reflects.  Please fix that.

Okay, this is pretty interesting title because I have seen one or few.  I know there is lot of fearless but this one I have seen.

My friends has CP (cerebral palsy).  One man and one woman.  At first,  let’s say this woman who is CP but she can walk well.  She has some CP in her legs and back.  She can play softball, golfing, and used running but now can’t because worse in the ages.  I never think she has NO Balance!  I invited her and her friends to TOPGOLF without warning.   I took the bay which is on 2nd floor flat.  She did not say anything till she get on the tee line and turned to us.  She said, “no balance and can’t stand straight because of height”  I realized we are on main level, not lower level and wanted to ask manager.  Her friend told me, “don’t worry she will be fine because she is very good at golfing.”  I sat down and watch her while she do the golf.   She was successful.  I relieved.  How?  She has her friend stand behind her so she can stop friend from falling and her other club beside her foot.  Next tee time, she did herself success alone with her club beside her foot.   Next time, I know CP people need a floor to ground instead of upper floor.

Okay, this man who has right leg and arm as CP.  He can walk just fine but limping because of right side.  He come over my work at TOPGOLF and he stand front of 3rd floor (Upper level).  Lucky, he was stand behind the tee lines, not know how fear in height to him.  He asked me to show the tee line so I lead him to there.  He grabs my arm, “don’t go that far.”  I popped my mind from that lady last time.  I said, “I know.  I try to show you.  Not go over the tee line.  Just show you what it look like.”   He stand behind me where I stand on tee line.  I showed him about screen and golfing.  He wanted go main floor and lower level so I took him 2nd floor (main level).  He said, “still can’t go there on tee lines and can do the golf little on left.”  I smiled at him because I am lefty at swing but I am RIGHT handed.  I took him down to lower level (1st floor)  and he walk while I was behind him.  He walked to TEE LINE himself!  He turned to me and smiled at me.  He walk to me and hugged me because he can play golf on lower level!  I felt relieved, too.

Cerebral Palsy has no balance but can have fearless.   I seen a lot of handicapped people has NO BALANCE but has fearless.  Wheelchair, Blind, Deaf or CP.   They have brave experiences what they loved to do.  Boxing, weightlifting, swimming, softball, golf, or tennis, etc.   Many people has fearless so handicapped do have that too.

I am sure you have been heard about prize jobs.  I am here to speak of my view and aware about it.

One of my friend who is deaf and played tennis for deaf Olympics in 1985, that is what I believe she won the bronze medal.   She been work at church as Youth Director for more than 15 years and now she is Bus Driver for the deaf school.

My former boyfriend won many trophies for bowling in his 10 years sport when he was kid but grown out after teen years.  He wanted to be engineer in the future but he is current working at UPS (Untied Poral Service) as data entry operator.  He is also Deaf and still bowls.

I met one guy who work for Home Depot and skated for the Olympics in 1994, won the gold medal.  Yes he is hearing and not hear from him after won the medal.  He still go back to work at Home Depot?

Oh I have two MVPs and medals in softball for more than 30 years.  Victory team for Track and Swimming in high school and was captain for girls swim team in middle school.  I won All Star in volleyball and won champion twice at bowling as adult.   I am deaf and had low income career.  That means it is not worth for me?  I know I have guts that I have been successes with my life, not know about others.

All Olympics athletes got the medals and ended up as career as professional.   Some does gone to old job or gone to study for whatever careers they choose.   That does mean they had good, better or best job in the future or current?

Questions:

•  Medals or Trophies?
•  Should take career as old or new after won?
•  Study new careers?
•  Growing up career?
•  Professional able to go back to job as before?
•  What is different between deaf and hearing athletes?

Two places at Topgolf, I wanted to attend so I did.  One place has good place and good crowd but other place has bad place and bad crowd.  I am sure there is diverse in different cities.  I wanted to drop two places here.  You decide.

Let’s say here, good place and good crowd.  Topgolf has better view of sightseeing and better culture of city.  They had better social media and enjoy playing games there like Shuffleboard, Cornholes, Tumbling Timbers and Pool tables, too.   They have very friendly and causal hosts.  They loves people and share with the guests to feel warm welcome.  Kids and Adults loves to come and play, no matter what they having so there is lot to do to keep them busy, not boring or playless.   Grill and bars was great services and meals was so great.  It fits the guests and enjoy the day or night.   You won’t believe that they had SUNRISE Burger!  It was so interesting and taste different.  All meals are sort of spicy but worth it!  You better watch out what you orders.  Smile.   Drinks are great too.  You can keep Golf Bag when you order mixed drinks.  They has good smelling, cleaning restrooms.  They keep going and going, not allow restroom left out messy.  They kept Imop cleaning daily so no messy left for next guests.  The guests been waiting in the line for few hours to play or eat because so popular place.  The associates are very aware about cleaning and keep the games going, enjoy the day!  The associates welcome you with warmly smile and share with your humor of sense.  I would say this is better place I would continue attending and play golfing!

Let’s say here, bad place and bad crowd.  Topgolf has bad view of sightseeing and poor culture of city. They had better social media and enjoy playing games there like Shuffleboard, Cornholes, Tumbling Timbers and Pool tables, too.  They have very friendly and causal hosts. They loves people and share with the guests to feel warm welcome.  Kids and Adults loves to come and play, no matter what they having so there is lot to do to keep them busy, not boring or playless. Grill and bars was great services and meals was so great. It fits the guests and enjoy the day or night. You won’t believe that they had SUNRISE Burger! It was so interesting and taste different. All meals are sort of spicy but worth it! You better watch out what you orders. Smile. Drinks are great too. You can’t keep Golf Bag when you order mixed drinks. They has odd smelling, little messy restrooms. They keep going and going, allow restroom left out messy.  They kept mopping dirty to wash the floor and sticky.  The guests been coming in and going out for few hours, no waiting line.  The associates are very aware about cleaning and keep the games going, enjoy the day!  The associates welcome you with warmly smile and share with your humor of sense. I would say this is OK place I would continue attending and play golfing!

I been went to McDonald’s and notice there is order machine stand before cashier.  I think it is great for the deaf to order there and easy for them to handle.  It accept the card, not cash.  I ordered few orders and sit at table with number call.  The number call will let them know what is the ordered and deliver to me.  That is wonderful thing for me.

Last night, I went to Taco Bell for fast dinner.  I was so thrilled to see that order machine there before the cashier.  I started to order but notice there is card machine.  I only had cash on me so I had to cancelled the order to force me to speak to the cashier.  Yes, I did not speak but did write what I orders.  The cashier was so nice and understanding.  I was so relief and get my dinner.  I was smile at drink fountain because there is Dr. Pepper!  Most of Taco Bell has Pepsi, no Dr. Pepper.   While I was sit and eat my pizza.  I watched the two men ordered theirs at the cashier and find themselves drink.  You know I can read lip so one of them said, GREAT Dr. Pepper!  I giggled.

I have had ate three different bacon burgers in one other days.

Frist one was Bacon Smokehouse burger.  It was so great and joy.  One thing is juicy!  Oh yes, there is lot of juicy, not know if it was from bacon or meat itself.  I love smokehouse burger myself but bacon is new to me.

Ok, second is Quarter Pounder with cheese…..of course bacon!  There was called Deluxe Quarter Pounder with cheese…..bacon.  Everything is on it, look like perfect for anyone because it has lettuce, tomato, and onion on it.  I know it not there anymore but did ate once in their limited time.   It also juicy and taste good, not same as smokehouse burger.  I glad take risk to eat that burger.

Next and final is Big Mac with bacon.  Too much to say.  I would not order anymore.  I would mind to eat original Big Mac but with bacon?  No bacon please.   It is interesting taste but too much for me.  Juicy, too.

I still love smokehouse burger.  Do you?

Many people heard me breathing heavy.   Excuse me, I can breath normal but hear me breathing heavy because I cant hear myself.   I not meant to be rude or loud.  If I know I breathing heavy then will calm down as little quieter.

Many people think breathing heavy is hard and grab air or something.  It not meant that reason.  Breathing heavy or breathing quiet is same as normal but you can hear your own, right?   Wheezed, short breath or breath hard.  I only know I breath heavy because can feel my trachea seems funny like dry or moist.  I know breathing heavy.  I would take my time to breathing normal.  Sorry guys!

When I was in crew with production team for filming.  I always told by silence and know should be quiet.   If I get tired then have left the set, keep myself silence for while.  I try to learn the handle of breathing habits.  I not have any problem with that but cant hear myself so not know if I was loud or not.

Learn any?

I read one of article about girl in England that she has disease which is can’t walk longer, has short breath and body does not look normal.  She look like healthy from outdoor.  She was only 20 years old and parking her car on handicapped parking lot.  People fuss at her for parking her car in wrong place.  Because she dose not have her permission that time and does look like normal and healthy but not know her illness that is permanent disease, no cure.    She walk shorter and easy for her park and walk nearest.  She finally get her permission to parking on handicapped parking lot.

Now I looked over people who parking on wrong space.  I not know if they have issues or just wanted to be nearest.   I can understand few people who is overweight will park there.   What about diabetes?  What about prosthetic legs?  What about deaf?  List of names What About?  You never know it when you see people park on handicapped parking lot and they not have the permission.  That will be big problem for against or drop the case.

I have friend who is overweight and knee problem because of her sports overactive in her life.  She has permission handicapped parking so I sometimes cheat on when took her car to the store or any place.  I look like normal and people started to fuss at me.  I felt strange because they not know I am DEAF myself.  I turned to them, “I am Deaf!” and people silence, they seem shocked to see me walk normal but DEAF.  I think well, if I have permission then why I look normal and healthy?  If I have disability then should have permission to park?   I choice not, because I know I can walk far and can breath regular.   I have joint sore someday but not want any mercy at me.   Should I?  No

Back to this subject from Driver License.  Police and driver had understand each other in good communication and cooperation.   Some police has bad moods and had hard time to deal with them.  I can’t deal with them in bad mood and could be angry with them for sure.  It made me anxiety and lost of control with my emotion when police stopped me.   He/She would think something wrong with me.   Unless they not know I am DEAF driver with anxiety.

One time, I went to OKLA for visiting and police stopped me with her gun toward at me. I was so freaking out and not understand what is going on.  She told me to move. I said what?  We moved to right place on empty parking lot with lights on.   It was night.  She walked to me again with her gun toward at me.   I tried to ask her what is wrong?  She not moving till police cars arrived and park around me.   The police look over my car and state tag…turned it was WRONG car and WRONG state.  She was so embarrassed  and I was so freaking out, of course anxiety!  She kept told me I am sorry.   That really turned me off big time, confused because I come to visiting.   They were looking for specific car and person in OKLA.  I am not right person, anyway.   That gave me think of what if deaf turned wrong then can be mistake shooting instead of suspense?

Also, I found one bad attitude police to gave me speed ticket.  I drove pick up and had to push little speed because of hill so he stopped me.  He walk to me in his anger to me.  I told him to calm down and am deaf.  He gave me bad attitude with doubt of my deafness.  I become anger with him, take papers to him to make his mouth shut.  I told myself, calm down because I know I just push the little speed on the hill but he just pop to catch me for some reason.  Yes, I am anxiety too.   He come back and learned I am actually deaf and told me to not speed again.  I just nods and wonder how much can weight my pick up push up the speed on the hill?

What do you think?

Trying to be safe and easy
