7th grade was a rough start for me. For first time, I went to my home school instead of the city. I was the only deaf and no interpreter. Friends I had grewing up decided not to be my friend because they didn't want deaf friend. They felt it make them less popular. I was alone. Until one girl's best friend who father teaches there. She and me went to same elementary and she was off in city and being with her dad and her best friend. She asked me to join them and since that day, I sat at that table for lunch. Next things I knew couple of people wanted to beat me up cuz they were jealous. I was just being me. Since then, I was known as the friendliest girl.
