Deaf or Blind?


Would you rather live a life being deaf or blind?  I think that if I had the option to choose, I would rather be deaf.  I love to listen to music, but what I love more is being able to create things with my hands.  If I were blind, I would not be able to work on my car, or thread a fishing line as well as I would with my vision.  I love creating things and I think that if I was deaf, I would learn a trade such as welding or woodworking to support myself.  This is something that I would thoroughly enjoy.  I already have experience in a metal working shop and am currently a certified entry level welding technician.  Some of the things that I would be able to create include items such as boat trailers, custom car frames, porch swings, and weight lifting equipment among many other items.  For example, boat trailers can sell for thousands of dollars.  That way I would only need to make about one trailer per week.  That would allow me to work hard for only a few hours each day and I would be able to create enough trailers to support myself.

  1. Ya I would agree that being deaf is the better choice. That's cool that you can already weld and make all of those things! It's a really useful skill.
