Bruzzese: Turn adversity into dreams come true
In one of those "amazing-power-of-the-Internet" introductions, I was introduced to Stephen Hopson. I admit, I went about reading his blog (Adversity University Blog) without realizing Mr. Hopson is deaf! Here's a link to an article written about him by Anita Bruzzese recently...
Deaf since birth, he achieved his dream in 2006...to become an airplane pilot!
As a self-described kid who was "scrawny, with yellow buckteeth and ... a monstrous hearing aid box that was strapped around my chest with hearing aid cords that ran up to my ears," Hopson had big dreams about one day becoming a pilot.

Really? You weren't aware that I was deaf? Wow, that's a compliment. Well, now you know. Wink, wink.
It's been a pleasure getting to know you online and I look forward to the day we meet. You are an inspiring person yourself. :)
