My name's Helena and I've been deaf since I was twelve.
When I was a chils I played the cello and I really enjoy it until I became deaf. At the begining it was so hard for me and I had a shock but like Freddy Mercury said 'The show must go on'.
Life is a bit different for me now because I still go to the same high school and now teachers must speak a little slowly and vocalize more.
There are some things that annoy me, for example when I'm speaking with someone and he turns and I can't see his mouth. Sometimes I also feel anxious because if you could hear anything you feel a little isolated all the time. But usually people are very kind to me.
