Waiting on the World to Change

[@JenniferPetitt]

I am not deaf, but I had a deaf teacher that taught ASL in my high school. After befriending her and immersing myself in the their culture I had a new-found respect for the deaf community. They can do anything they want and them not being able to hear never effects them if they don't want it to. I hope to be able to take more classes one day and able to be so fluent that it would be like second nature to me. :)

[@jasonspinale6609]

You know this music inspired million of deaf people around the world and we thank you for that. And yes I'm also deaf,

[@horselover8197]

Me too, and yes. Thank you.

I LOVE this video! I'm just so proud of this and it's about time a voice being heard. Seriously a lovely video. It touched my heart because I'm hard of hearing myself and I just know so little about the deaf community. Thank YOU D-Pan

What an amazing final image... that little girl signing is so powerful.

[@Dragonesa41083]

Great video of this song I loved it alot and it made me cry as well and it is true, all deaf people can do exactly what hearing people can do except hear. Thank you for sharing this. I especially loved the little 2 or 3 year old little girl near the end of the video that was so so cute I love seeing small hands sign.

I am happy to see this beautiful video, taking asl has helped me understand deaf people more and learning to sign to communicate is fun. My teacher opened my eyes to the language now it's my favorite class and I'm glad to learn sign and see this beautiful video. I respect Deaf people even more now than i did before and I'm glad

This was last year's senior song for my high school, and the ASL seniors got up on the stage and signed it. This year ours in Journey: Don't Stop Believing, and my teacher is trying to get this guy to show her how best to do the song.

[@Wolf-Ishkode]

Thank you so much for adding this song to the deaf community, teaching others how to accept the differences between us all we can find a way to move forward. Deaf or not we all need to learn to be there for each other. We only got one life why Waist it by hating what we don’t understand?

My ASL class is doing this song as a requirement for Deaf Awareness. I'm pretty excited. ASL is a wonderful and beautiful language, and I believe that more people should be involved with it's wonderful and powerful feeling and move it has on you.

[@lostismyconstent]

oh my gosh, this is so beautiful i honisty almost cried. im hearing and have been learning asl for about five years, this is beautiful and the message behind it is a strong one that needs to be heard. before i learned about the Deaf culture, i almost felt that i was chastized by Deaf people for being hearing but now i understand the history and im so glad to see how far weve come not as a hearing or Deaf culture, but as a people. beautifully done, wonderful job. thank you for posting this.

I have deafness running throughout my family, this is how a lot of deaf people feel. they feel that the hearing community is against them, but all they want to do is be a part of it.

This video is unreal!!! It's a great song to begin with but this video truly gives it meaning. I loved the diversity of people!!

[@DarkFrostFox]

I have two Deaf children and now they are 'big kids' 12 and 10- They are wonderful kids and we all often forget that everyone doesn't sign. Enjoy your little one ^.^

[@the-mortician95]

Some deaf students had this video shown to us today.... I had goosebumps. Deaf students and adults need the exact same attention as everyone else. I know, because one of my friends and this guy I'm in love with is deaf. And they can do anything we can, except hear.

[@KdotFren]

I'm taking ASL at my high school, too. My teacher is deaf (she's amazing!) and has taught us tons about her Deaf culture. I really respect the Deaf community and know that deaf people can do anything that hearing people can do! This song makes total sense! I also kind of want a deaf child, too, so that I can stay involved in the Deaf community.

[@lilmidgetgirl69]

This video is awesome. Every time I watch it I get goosebumps. I want to be a high school sign language teacher once I get my degree. I would also love to interpret. I'm still learning signs though so it won't be for a few years now. The Deaf have my full support! One day the world will change^^

[@DeafSweetMind]

I think it's great what D-Pan is doing. I'm not deaf but I was lucky enough to have been put into a situation where learning sign language was a great help on my job, a lot of my co-workers were deaf and when they found out I wanted to learn, it opened a whole new world to me. I met some great friends and still meet more because of that experience.

That's very emotional video! It made me feel loved because nothing can stop us!

[@markjenismyno1]

this is a very powerful video. Im taking sign language now and Im very eager to learn it. WHen my sign language teacher interpreted 'im the worlds greatest' by r kelly. I was moved. I didnt know that by singing I could feel something like this. I love this video. thank you for uploading!!!

I don't usually watch videos on youtube, I usually stick the music on for background noise b/c I've got audio processing disorder so I can't usually understand what many lyrics are saying. But I happened to actually watch this video and it really surprised me. Not only because of how beautifully it was done, but also because it made me realize I recent made a shirt for NAD (I do art for shirts, its all through the internet). I didn't know what it stood for then, but I know now ^_^

[@reduceglobalwaming15]

Great work! As a coda I have seen the struggles my mom has faced and I do think it's gotten easier for her. I think technology is helping Deaf people have more options that they didn't before.

[@lavender40]

This is SOOO GOOD. I Love this.

[@chainz094]

Totally love this video. As a hearing guy that loves and respects the Deaf Community, I agree on the fact that hearing people should stop the ignorance and listen. You don't have to hear to listen. Remember hearing community like it's said in this video "A deaf person can do anything a hearing person can except hear". Deaf Community be proud always and don't let anybody make you feel like you're not wonderful. This is a beautiful and special community. :)

[@sknight8621]

I agree with womanatwittsend, don't just think automatically that all hearing people fall under the same catagory. Some hearing may think they are "better" but some of us actually take the time, like me, to learn ASL and communicate with Deaf people, and know that they are 100% as important as any hearing person. great video too!

I love this song, I really do. I have deafness running through MY family... I know people make fun of our community because 'we are deaf or we talk with our hands, we can't talk with our mouths...'' Well, lemme say something to the hearing (even though I am hearing, but hard of hearing) people, the deaf community is JUST LIKE the hearing, we just can't hear... We do things a little different, yes, but we are all alike. The 17 people to dislike, didn't understand this I s'pose... LOVE THIS SONG!!

i love this video. i even understand this video myself because i'm hard of hearing going to school with deaf and hearing mix. i know how hard it is since i go through this too. i'm sure you hearing people as well might have the same feelings us us. i'm just lucky that i go to places where other people cares about me. who knows. you people are the future to help our goal. my point is. this video speaks for it self and i like it.

Wow that is amazing, my teacher showed us a "Glee" clip with the deaf glee club and she told us to check this out. This is a great video.

I love sign language:) It's such a beautiful language and I'm very good at it. I'm a hearing woman taking classes at Denton High School:) I currently have an 100 in that class:) I think when I get older I might become an interpreter or maybe even a teacher. Something as beautiful as ASL needs to be shared with the world:)

This video sends a good message and is very true , deaf people are under estimated.

[@Blindmanwalking2]

Video shows deaf people as strong, intelligent, creative and deserving to be treated as quote "normal" people. Being legally blind myself, I share the desire to be afforded the same opportunity. Everyone in this country needs to stop treating disability as something which is either good or bad. It simply is. The disabled need to unite and see their commonalities instead of their differences. Until we do, we will never be seen as anything more than object of pitty or source of inspiration!

I have thought about it, and the way my ASL teacher has put it (she is deaf, and is part of a very famous family) is that "We aren't disabled. We're language different." Oh trust me, I know no one is normal. I'm living proof of that. I'm so abnormal, I'm practically not human anymore!
