I was wondering why this was, and I came to the conclusion that it was because I can't hear them talking...plus the feeling of having just woken up :)</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">So, I was wondering, how often do people actually listen to someone they see all the time, but don't attempt to know them?</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">I get to know people best in class, where we aren't as spread out or it isn't as noisy.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Of course, the other side of this is that my "morning buddies" haven't made as much as an attempt to get to know me.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">They don't seem to realise that I don't particpate in conversation in the morning because I have no idea of what they are talking about!</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">When I do hear something, and respond, I often get greeted with looks of suprise...and often with a 'interesting' reponse...</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">The weird thing about this is, anyone who does actually know me, knows I am very chatty... :D</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">So, I'm not quiet by choice, but because I'm limited as to what I can hear.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Take from this post a request.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">Please get to know those people you see everyday, talk to, but you don't actually know how many brothers and sisters they have or what they do in their spare time.</span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#33ccff;">You won't regret it. :D</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><strong>xoxo</strong></span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="color:#3333ff;"><strong>Bethany</strong></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8732610777998492294-4047201732997343646?l=bethanyishere.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bethany_isherehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02043664541551722435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732610777998492294.post-59081107039444628672009-10-19T23:45:00.000-07:002009-10-19T23:58:21.540-07:00<div align="center"><span style="color:#33ccff;"><strong>Hey!</strong></span></div><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;">Thanks for reading my newly created blog.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;">My blog will be a bit different to the normal one, just because I have a whole set of problems most people probably don't have.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;">My Blog is called the Girl with Stereo Sound, because that's pretty much who I am.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;">I was born profoundly deaf, but I am lucky enough to be able to hear and speak, thanks to the help of the AMAZING Australian invention of Cochlear Implants.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;">My first Cochlear Implant was implanted when I was nearly 4, and my second one when I was nearly 14. I am now 2 months away from my 16<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> birthday.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;">My aim will be to show everyone how a girl with digital hearing sees the world, and I hope this will make my blog different from others. I will update every time something is thrown my way that I realise is different to me than to other people.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3366ff;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Thankyou</span>, and I hope you will join the Girl with Stereo sound on her journey to making others aware of the amazing cochlear implant.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#33ccff;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">xoxo</span><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#33ccff;">Bethany</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8732610777998492294-5908110703944462867?l=bethanyishere.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bethany_isherehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02043664541551722435noreply@blogger.com0
