I saw Savannah in the restaurant one night and she smiled. The day I caught up to her on campus, I was excited. Then, in less than a minute, my hopes crumbled. When I told her I was Deaf, her expression changed. I thought she'd walk away from me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe didn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's when I fell in love with her. Men don't like admitting to being struck by cupid's arrows. It doesn't sound macho, but I was hit hard. I knew I'd marry her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeing a Deaf man in a hearing world and asking Savannah to be a permanent part of my life was more than a little intimidating. Convincing her to step into my world gave me one more problem to overcome as I pursued a career where most people considered hearing a prerequisite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'm no longer that little boy who wasn't invited to the birthday party because I was different. I'm Deaf. I'm proud of who I am. It's not an excuse. It's a reminder to be better, to try harder, and to find my own success. This is my story of perseverance and the pursuit of the near impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlex Van Doorn\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 348\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.78 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 05, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47330648293625,"sku":"9781625221230","price":14.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/O2geGd4_MK9781625221230.webp?v=1769606453","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/silent-journey-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
