"Growing up I didn't have the easiest life...but then again who does. No ones story is an easy one to tell, no one can say I faced no problems when I was growing up, my family was perfect. If they did they would be liars. But we need those struggles when growing up...they make us stronger, help to mold the people we'll become, that's if we overcome them...if we just sit back and let them overtake us we can't come out on the other end saying "I survived!". We just get lost in the shadows of life, victorious over nothing. It's not easy to go through something alone, and when we do that's when we are most likely to get consumed by the shadows. So I'm here today to share my story, for those of you out there that are going through what I went through, don't get lost in the shadows. I hope with my story that I can at least reach one person and help them pull themselves out of the shadows, and then I hope that person goes on to help one more person and that continues on even after I'm gone...I guess before I do this, I need to thank the new technology we have, that lets me, as a deaf person, tell my story. I also I have to tell you who I'm and take you back to the start of me...Hi my name is Lee Sun, well that's my Korean name at least. I go most commonly by Aurora, Lee Aurora Sun. I'm now 54 years old and this is my story."
