What inspires you?
Both of my parents have been my inspirations. They’ve shown me that with hard work and dedication I can accomplish what I propose to myself; that giving up shouldn’t be an option because even though they are deaf, they didn’t give up. They found a way to get over their struggles and overcome their obstacles. I admire everything they do for me and my siblings, in order for us to achieve our goals.
