September 11th, 2001 -- Never Forget that day.

Today is September 11. It has been 8 years later after the attack. Could you image how hard to look when you go back when World Trade Center gone. The Pentagon in Washington, DC and in Shanksville, PA (Flight 93).

How do you feel when you heard on the news or first saw that people who live in New York City.

Let me tell you my story.
When I was 7th grade in Jr. High (I was 13 yrs old). When I was in school....everything was fine and beautiful morning and nice weather. My 1st period class was fine then when the bell ring and I was heading to math class for 2nd period and waiting for my teacher. It only like 5 or 10 min to wait. My interpreters and the students waiting for him. When my teacher come in and said there has been terrorist attack. I was thinking in my mind was like "huh? yeah right" When he turn tv on and I thought it was movie when I saw the 1st attack on WTC....like 15 min when I saw the 2nd attck on WTC.....it went like BOOM! Suddenly I felt very shocked and I was like "Oh My!" and I also saw the Pentagon attack too. I was very sad and very scared. I felt like I wanted to cry but I didn't because I was scared. I was thinking was like what if the plane was crashed in my school or the land. Then the bell ring next.....I was heading to the gym class but there is no TV. I remember we going outside to play to football field and I just don't feel like to play but I have to. I was scared to death and my mind thinking about the attack. I was looking up the sky to make sure if it no plane. I don't want to go outside because I was scared. I just felt like I want to go home. Some students left early. Then next to 4th period I had Library class....my teacher know what happen but she turn TV off and want to to force and work on it...But I just don't feel like to work on it because my mind kept thinking. Then I had lunch period after 4th. I was with my friend. My friend Emily was scared to death because I remember she said "Is there a plane here" and a girl said "no, its okay Emily..calm down." She really want to go home. So 6th, 7th 8th period....I had to class work to do. I don't want to work on 7th period its almost like study hall but my HI (hearing impaired) teacher force me to work my social studies homework because there is TV on! Because I really want to know what going on. After school....when I get home and I was thinking myself "Why the hijacked wanted to kill the buildings and people on the plane and building are DEAD" I watched the news all day and saw the twin towers was down. It was very shocked to me. I can't image what I saw. I almost cry. My dad put America Flag on my front door and leave the light all night. I remember during the night and morning...I was still scared again. I couldn't stop thinking about what happen. Some people didn't go to school after 9/11.
I remember it was the Friday morning after 9/11.....in my Jr.high school we all have to wear Red, White, Blue to remember those day. We went outside and pray in the morning and look up the flag pole for halfway flag. I almost cry. We had afternoon free class for 9/11 thing in the audition all day. There play a band, choirs and make a announcement.


Thousand and Thousand people body still there after Twin Towers and in Shankville, Pa couldn't find the body in the ground.

Plus 2 police guys found the body still ALIVE after the Twin Towers.
I couldn't image the family and friends lost theirs husbands, wives, friends, grandparents, and a kids. They miss them after 9/11.


8 years later I would never forget that day. NEVER FORGET.
God Bless America. We would never forget those day.

People don't believe me that I'm deaf.

Okay. I'm getting tired of people say to me on youtube comments. I'm here to telling you the truth.


A lot of people asked me if I'm deaf or not. How many time I told you "YES" in billions times. Some people don't believe me and some people do believe me. One time someone comment me on my youtube videos and they said "Are you really deaf or are you just for fun in sign language?" and "If you are deaf and how can you hear the music?" and "Then if you have a hearing aid your not really that deaf? makes no sense!!" and also "If you have hearing aid then your not deaf!"
If you make fun of me being deaf or sign language or a mute person.
Okay what is your problem. I'm not here to yelling at you. I'm just telling you. It really upset me so much. That's hurt my feeling.
I lost my hearing loss when I was 2. I was thinking myself "Why Me, God...why?" I wish I could be normal but guess not. And my signing teacher taught me to learn sign language when I was in first grade that is when I was 7.
None of my family and my 17 year old brother is NOT deaf. I'm only deaf person in the family.
These you need to know....
1. Yes I am really deaf.
2. I can hear the music some of the words.
3. If you wonder how do I know the songs in the videos in sign language.
- I was following the lyrics words on youtube screen.
4.Yes I do have hearing aid that help me to hear better. I have one hearing aid on my right but used to be 2 hearing aids because my left couldn't hear nothing on hearing aid.
5. I can talk/speak in sign language. I'm not MUTE!
The reason why I really love into music since I was child.
I love to dance. I love to listening any music.
I was taken dance lesson for 6 years when I was 7 until 12 years old since the dance studio closed anymore. I was really sad because I miss the dance so much. I take the ballet/jazz lesson when I was 7 then year later I decide to take tap lesson when I was 8-12 years old then I decide to take baton lesson when I was 11-12 yrs old. All I have to memories the dance rounties in my head with the music that help me.
When I was in 8th grade at Jr.High School. I has been thinking myself that I want to be color guard in high school. I was thinking myself was like I think I can do it. When I went to color guard try out.....the flag pole is tough to learn...I was really getting so frustration (sp?) because I didn't know what am I doing to do....but I kept practicing and practicing more to get better. Then when I went into the room for trys out and I was like "Oh God please make it" I was thinking myself because you don't know if I can make it or not. Then I finally make it for color guard. I was the first deaf marching band. Yes I can hear the beats of horns.
Deaf people can do it!
You don't know what hearing aids or cochlear implant look like. (some people know what it is) If you don't know what is that so go look up the google.
So please don't make a fun of deaf or a mute people. They will hurt theirs feeling. I've done that happen before.
If you staring the person in sign language and you probably was like "What he/she was talking about?" or "What he/she talking about me?" Absolutely no.
For people you don't know the sign language. If a person come to you in sign language and if you don't know what he/she was saying to you. And write a paper down and say "I don't understand you what you say because I don't know sign language. Can you tell me what were you said?" No mean thing. Just try to be nice to person.
Sign Language is fun. People loves it. You would love it. If you want to learn sign language. Take a class or you can take a class in your college. That is not hard to learn sign language. Its really fun and its easy to learn.
Any questions?
Please ask me away.
I won't bite you.
I'm honestly nice.
=]
I hope you understand. Please just understand. Don't be mean to people.
I love you guys. You guys are the nicest people in the world!
