Text Quotes
I grew up outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a little town, and went to a regular high school. I was a... very average student in that high school. Then I joined the Navy, and while I was in the Navy, I was in a motorcycle accident and woke up deaf in a hospital.  (I King Jordan Quotes) After becoming deaf, I realized that I’d better get an education if I was ever to do anything with my life.  (I King Jordan Quotes) I lived for a year in Scotland. British sign language is very different from American.  (I King Jordan Quotes) Differences among deaf people are okay, but we need to recognize those differences and work together.  (I King Jordan Quotes) Technology is helping more and more deaf people hear, but here at Gallaudet, we focus on learning and achieving-not on listening. So I would still say deaf people can do anything, except hear.  (I King Jordan Quotes) I’m committed to sign in everything I communicate, but I also speak. I still believe that I reach more people when I do that. I bridge two different cultures and two different worlds, and I think that bridge still needs work.  (I King Jordan Quotes) At Gallaudet, deafness isn’t an issue. You don’t even think about it. Students can pay attention to accounting or psychology or journalism. But when a deaf person goes to another college, no matter how supportive it is, that person doesn’t get the same access.  (I King Jordan Quotes)
