===========  BIOGRAPHY of Cynthia Clark  =====================


NAME:  Cynthia Clark
AGE:   35

TWO OCCUPATIONS:

  1)  Techncial Assistant for the Communication and
      Information Technology firm  (CNRI)

  2)  Part-time Instructor in the area of
      communications; such as Storytelling in ASL and
      Accent in Fingerspelling Art

MOVIE INSPIRE ME THE MOST:  "Driving Miss Daisy" - a truly powerful movie.

BOOKS I TELL OTHERS TO READ:

1) "The Firm"
2) "The Gift of Magi" by O. Henry
3) "The Lady or the Tiger"

HOBBIES:  talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk
          e-mail conversations, communications,
          public speaking, TV host talk show,
          facilitator, moderator, reading, sleeping,
          BOATING (motor boat), playing cards, writing,
          sewing, cooking, traveling, little tennis,
          little golf, little racquetball.

WISH TO BE ABLE TO FIND TIME TO DO:  take flying lessons,
                                     write a few books,
                                     host more TV talk shows,
                                     driving fast cars,
                                     become a star,
                                     host dinner parties,
                                     the interior decorations,
                                     learn real estate investments

HEARING STATUS:  Deaf as a stone - deaf since birth.
                 I really don't miss any music anyway
                 because I have "my own music" in my
                 own brain.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:  People say I speak rather articulately
                       especially as a deaf person.  I happen to
                       speak better than to lip-read others.
                       I can lipread but I am not the best
                       lip-reader.

THE WORST THING ABOUT DEAFNESS IS:  Rejection.

THE BEST THING ABOUT DEAFNESS IS:  Sleep peacefully without any
                                   disturbing sounds. Thank God.

IF I COULD HEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME,
THE FIRST THING I WOULD DO IS:  go to the drug store purchasing the
                                ear plugs trying to turn it off somehow


FAVORITE SAYING:  +----------------------------------------------+
                  |  "Don't ever try to teach a pig to sing: it  |
                  |   wastes your time and it annoys the pig."   |
                  +----------------------------------------------+

   and   "Be Yourself ! "
