National Arab American Heritage Month
There are two huge things that have happened in the month of April: my 21st birthday and National Arab American Heritage Month! I would like to thank everyone for the birthday wishes.

It was an emotional day for me but I was surrounded by those who love me and there is nothing that could beat the feeling of being surrounded those who love you.

I am not speaking as in a boyfriend/girlfriend way but with your parents, friends, or anyone you have a relationship with. Always remember that technology is always going to be here, the person right next to you won’t be. Enjoy.

Where Are You, Adrian?
Growing up in a town where there were not more than fifty Deaf people, it was hard to find a friend that was Deaf just like me. At six years old, I met someone who was just like me and it was something rare that I never expected to happen. His name was Adrian and this is my story.
