The Author’s memory of existing began when the she was three or four years old. She didn’t realize her deaf parents were any different from any other children’s parents in the neighborhood. She has a vague memory of being poor, but then who wasn’t? Being obedient was what all children were doing. Why was her mom living in such a poor house when her dad was living in a more comfortable home? She moved over to her dad’s house. One time her dad punished the Author when she was about 13 years old for carrying on about something that upset her for three or four days. Her dad told her, “get over it.” The Author developed a calmer attitude from that day forward. Henceforth, it took a lot to upset her. She dropped out of school. What was this world about? Dad always had a job. She had to have a job too. She learned to roll with the punches. The shock was when she realized that she did not have a home anymore.
The Author had to grow up fast. She began to reason out situations as she advanced forward. Books became her guide to responsibilities, which she bravely shouldered for so many years. When opportunities appeared, she tried to decide what to do with them. She missed a few, took a few and tried as best as she could to advance along her stony path of life. Both husbands she married were mistakes. That resulted in six children.
The Author earned numerous credits, learned how to act, dress, and present herself professionally, which rewarded her greatly. She was mobile resulting in promotions and rewarding positions.
She retired after working 30 some years resulting in a retirement program that she could live with.
