Deaf Culture Autobiographies: Reverend Thomas Coughlin.

The deaf reverent on the video was very enthusiastic about life. Reverend Thomas Coughlin talked about all of his experiences and hardships he had overcome. In the video he explained to me how hard it was for him to become a priest. None of the schools that he wrote to would except him. All the schools wrote back in reply that they could not teach a deaf person it would be too hard and most …

…in his way. To me that proved that if you really have the passion and desire to do something you can accomplish it. But if you let people discourage or get embarrassed then you won't reach your dreams. I loved hearing Thomas's to stories, all the things he had done, seen, and accomplished. I feel inspired by Thomas, and hope that I too can be open and one-day is able to tell stories like Thomas.
