I have read a comment,  Thank you very much for reading this blog.

Yes dear diblogists ( this is the name I will put to each person that likes to comment my blog)

My dearest diblogist  Patience;  yes  we are here to inspiring people who aknowledge our talent and productivity and easy make  “The minor”  or “major” accomodations we have to do when suddenly something happens in our life.  My past blog talked about my fear to lose my job.  I talked about the current situation but not about my future. I do not know if some other people are in my current situation, but I am wondering that many people are . Some days  we can talk about our happiness, our optimistical situation, or about our very good financial situation and other  stuff that make us happier people.  but when somebody talks  about fear, and scary stuff, as you says, people thinks we are lossing  our focus and we are going to get the ride of the loser.  My comments talked about the moment I experienced, but never talked about how  I should handle that situation. Very interesting point, dear,  and This was the point I liked touch. Thank you because you did it.  Thank you for your comment.  Yes this is the second part.  Now I am nearly to lose my job,  Maybe yes, maybe no…  I am just  waiting, but guess what?  I was, and now I am and be sure I will protect  one of my important assets :  My ability to work.  I can find other job, I can move to college  to get my doctorate ( this is my big dream) , but  guess what  dear patience?  however I will never lose my most important asset:  My ability to work. I am sure that this is your most important asset too.   In my next diblog  I will talk to you  how prepared I am for the event I lose my job, meawhile I like your comments,  what do you think I will do?  how   should I  handle it?  Have I saved  some money?  let’s go to do comments!!!  I should adore reading you.

with much love,

En dias pasados, para ser mas exacta el 24 de Enero relate en mi pasado blog acerca de mi trabajo, me senti asustada de saber que de un momento a otro puedo perderlo.

quiero entonces resumirlo en este blog para que ustedes sepan que paso.   Hace 4 anos comence a trabajar en una pequena agencia que atiende personas Sordas, Sordo/Ciegas, con difucultades de habla y Sordos Medios.   Comentaba acerca de dos personas que en ese entonces me apoyaron y me brindaron la oportunidad de demostrar lo mucho que puedo hacer tanto como profesional como persona sorda.  Hoy  no sabemos que puede pasar con nuestra pequena agencia, que despues de ser liderada por dos grandes personas, ha quedado a la deriva y por lo tanto en una situacion tremendamente fragil. Comente:  A quien podria importarle mi trabajo?    si lo pierdo o si lo conservo? que pasaria con aquellos suenos que tenia de adquirir mi propio auto y tambien mi propia casa?   Mis queridos Diblogists  Hoy estoy de nuevo aqui para comentarles y responderle a mi muy querida Patience, que como todo,  tiene sus dias malos y dias buenos,  momentos felices,momentos  complejos hoy estoy comentando a mi querida Patience que definitivamente estamos aqui porque hemos sido elegidos para inspirar a otros,  no obstante  nuestras dificultades, pero creo que es justo que todos aprendamos de nuestra dificultades tambien. Le he comentado a mi querida Patience que yo hable en ese momento sobre mi dificultad, pero no sobre mi futuro, hoy estoy comentandoles a todos que el punto que queria tocar era precisamente ese,  el vulnerable y del que pocos quieren hablar.   Solo quise que  Patience y otras blogists  supiesen que el valor que conservare a pesar de los momentos duros que viva  sera:  Mi abilidad de trabajar.  Espero sus comentarios,  saben ustedes si durante estos  4 anos ahorre?  que creen?  o saben si compre una casa? o compre un auto?  que creen ustedes que hare con mi futuro proximo?Espero sus valiosos comentarios.

Con mucho amor,

Dizone

I am one of the normal Americans in the country with a little difference. I am deaf, but I work 8 hours per day 40 hours per week in a small non profit agency that attend Deaf, Deaf-Blind, Hard of Hearing, and Speech Impaired population in a bigger city as Miami is. I also pay taxes and I contribute to another non-profit agency with money.  I also have to pay for home, gas, food and other expenses…. very normal isn’t it?

Four years ago I started my job with lot of hopes. I liked to have my own car, my own home, to go to school and save for a better economic future and so far.Although I have to drive 2 hours in the morning to go to my job and 2 hours in the afternoon to go to my home .I started very excited just because I had the  opportunity to work. I met 2 great persons; the Executive Director, and The Program Administrator.  The first one was a great hearing person, clever and always good listener.  and although she made some mistakes she was open to the discussion and fast solved problems in our little agency , she played a big role in our critical financial situational at that time , but always keep employee’s job and good attendance to our clientele.  Meanwhile the second one was the greatest Deaf  person I have ever  know in my life, full of experience attending Deaf, Hard of Hearing and Deaf blind population, she never hesitate to meet challenges, to defend Deaf people and teach other about our special community.

Now they both are not here any more and after their departure our agency started as a little airplane in the middle of storm…Now our agency is full of liabilities and just one agency is interested to merge with our agency, but nothing is clear now… Now my dreams to keep my job are coming down and I am really scared to lose my job. My dreamed car and my dreamed home… my food, my contribution, my expenses…

I am deaf, yes, but who cares?   How professional I am?

Who cares about our financial situation? And if this agency is closed the government will not come for our rescue and give us again, the opportunity…Who cares if Deaf, Deaf Blind, Hard of Hearing and Speech impaired people lose?Meanwhile our country is debating about the national deficit and the government is ready to solve or at least to contribute to fix this situation.But who cares if I and other and other and other disabled people lose  our job?

Who cares???
