As an idealist, I do associate myself as a dreamer. I've always strived for something more than the ordinary. As a toddler, I wanted to be an astronaut. As a child, I wanted to be a rockstar. But I digress. In all, my biggest dream is to make a mark on this world, specifically through writing, for I've noticed wrongs in this world, and I want to do my part in aiding the solution, even if my contribution is just a fraction of the cure. 

Some years back, I began learning about Deaf culture, and it shocked me in various ways. For one, I learned that, in the United States, students who were deaf were forced to speak; to speak in American Sign Language was punishable at what is referred to as oral schools, or public schools where students were involuntarily mainstreamed into society. Because of this, only 20% of the Deaf population uses ASL. 

My dream is to bring light to Deaf culture. It's rich. It's interesting. I mean, sometimes, I even find myself drawn to the interpretation of a speech or musical by American Sign Language interpreters than the mainstream content itself. And I want people to feel that amazement too. 

I plan to write a novel about a friendship-turned-romance between two girls, one of whom is deaf and associates as Deaf, which basically means they use American Sign Language; the other girl is hard of hearing. And I also plan to implement strong characters in my writing who represent pride in their disability, for a disability is nothing to be ashamed of, it should be a strength.
