The reasons I wanted to share this that with you which will have little personal information to share.  So please respect this.  Thank you.

I don't like when people say oh I am so sorry you deaf or You can't hear or whatever. But really, I am fine, I just human being like you.  Just, I can't hear at all.

I born that way. Everyone are different.  Some got it from sickness, some got nerve or brain damage caught that, or born that way.  I have three brothers and one sister, three out of five children are deaf.  They born that way. Long story about my family history.  My parents are hearing. None of my ancestry have deaf generation in our bloodline.  So our family are first to start with. That is so mystery to us. I can do read lips little that much. LOL  But I love to use my primary language is American Sign Language (ASL). I am mother of two hearing kids, when they cry or scream (which i can hear little when kids scream near my ear.) or need talk (they have to use ASL) to me.  I have special tech things that I have to depends on.  I am glad I am deaf no matter what.  I am proud as who I am.

I love to play wizard101.  But I noticed that game have lot of sounds and noises.   I am impressed of Kingsisle did lot of time, works and make it amazing. (Whisper: I would love to have the website or anything that someone who can set the sounds for example: humongofrog = ???????? describe the noise/sounds.  I know that will be lot, lot, lot of time and works.  But it will be helpful if someone willing do this.  :)  )  And Ravenwood Radio team, they did talk about relate to Wizard101.  I am wave my hands in air which is mean for applause to them that they worked hard.  I feel like I am left out.  But I am glad that Kevin Battleblood asked for volunteers to help transcripts for deaf people who play wizard101.  I am glad for him to willing of his time do that for us.  I am grateful for few who willing to describe the sounds mean.  I am thanks to Kevin Battleblood for his time, my twitter family who willing to tell me what vlog talk about, and describe the sounds, and my pvp team who very patient to use group chat that way we can chat in pvp.  :)

Deaf Motto: "We can do everything BUT hear!"

If you have any concerns or questions relate to deaf, ask me away.  I am very nice person to answer questions  :)

Oh, by the way, if you are interesting to learn American Sign Language, please let me know.  I am happy to help you and teach.  I am very patient person as well.  :)

Good luck with spirals!
