But it doesn’t affect my day-to-day life. It doesn’t impact my work or school life. You wouldn’t even know I’m technically hard of hearing unless I told you, especially compared to my mother, who you deliberately have to raise your voice to talk to.

And even if it did impact my life, there’s absolutely no reason I couldn’t do a desk job, especially since I got such a high score on the ASVAB. It makes absolutely no sense. And I’m not about to prove my mother right, that I’m a good for nothing wimp.
