If You Were in My Shoes If YOU WERE | Page 12

If You Were in My Shoes My name is Mary. I was born in a small town in the north of my country. At first I looked like a normal baby that everyone was playing with and enjoying it, as I was very smiling. Unfortunately, soon my parents discovered that I could not hear. So they started to take me to doctors and specialists to deal with their child's "illness". I was sorry that I could not communicate with my parents. They blew their mouths open, but as much as I tried, I could not understand them. Then there was something that changed my life and my parents' life too: they sent me to a school for Deaf Pupils.
