1. Who did you choose? Why did you choose this Deaf person? Was there something unique about this person that made you want to read about him/her right away?
I chose Miss America 1995, Heather Whitestone, from deafpeople.com. The reason why I chose this Dead person is because she participated in a pageant and became Miss America in 1995. She was the first deaf woman to be crowned. She was a role model for girls who were Deaf and encourage them with her motivation. Yes, there was someone unique about this person that made me want to read about her right away because it takes a lot of confident to run for a pageant.
2. Was this person born Deaf or became Deaf later in life? Does he/she use sign language to communicate? If he/she doesn't communicate
