Why I chose this topic?
I chose this topic because it is basically my life. I was born with sensory neural hearing loss in both ears from a hereditary trait. It is passed down from the parent and I happened to get my hearing loss from my father. So at eight months I received my first pair of hearing aids. Ever since then, I have had to learn and adapt in many different ways that not many people would have to think about as they're growing up. Over the past two summers I have had the amazing opportunity to attend a camp that was specifically made for transitioning high school students going into college. I was amazed at what I learned and carried on from this experience. I made lots of new friends who were living similar lives as me and it was wonderful. So this is my personal experience on the insight I gained.
