This deaf DJ doesn't need to hear

CNN-- My early childhood was a bit of a trip. I was born in the United Kingdom, then moved to Portugal, Venezuela and eventually New Jersey.
By Robbie Wilde, Special to CNN
CNN-- My early childhood was a bit of a trip. I was born in the United Kingdom, then moved to Portugal, Venezuela and eventually New Jersey.
When I was about 7, I had a series of severe ear infections. At the time, my family had no money, and we didn't have insurance, so there was no option to take care of it. I ended up losing full hearing in my right ear and 80% hearing in my left.
When I began attending public school, I didn't understand how the severity of my hearing loss would affect me; neither did my parents or my teachers. There were many issues when it came to grades due to miscommunication between the teachers and me. They often thought I was ignoring them.
Eventually, when I was 11, my parents started to pick up on it, which led to a doctor visit. My mother and I were told that I had significant hearing loss and that the hearing I had left was not guaranteed to stay.
My mother had a hard time dealing with the news at first. It was one more obstacle that we were going to have to deal with as a family, and she knew it was bound to cause a hard time for me at school.
When it came time to decide whether to go to a school for the deaf or continue in public school, I made the choice to stay where I was. My mother was a bit uncomfortable with the situation, but my fear of being labeled as different played a big part in my decision.
I also decided I was just going to keep my hearing loss to myself.
Eventually my friends figured it out. It didn't really change anything between us, but from time to time, some other kids would make fun of me.
One day in middle school a kid started making fun of me and mocked his own stereotypical idea of what a deaf person would speak like. One of my good friends, Chad Foster, stopped me from thinking or doing anything negative and told me it wasn't worth it. He said there will always be ignorant people like that in life, and I just have to brush it off -- to be me and that's all that mattered. He also told me he had my back.
But I still had trouble looking at school the same way. That incident brought reality into my life at an early age, so I kept to myself with my close friends.
My career as a DJ began in college. My parents owned a restaurant, and my father gave me the opportunity to DJ a party one night. I immediately fell in love with the turntables and began to DJ more and more. From there I started DJ'ing at clubs in the tri-state area, from New Jersey to New York to Connecticut, and eventually also in Atlanta and Chicago.
I started to get a following in those states, even as I continued to attend Kean University to get my bachelor's degree in biology. Then I had to drop out of college my junior year due to financial trouble in a bad economy.
However, I stuck with my passion of spinning music, and after nearly a decade, I was granted a great opportunity. Hewlett-Packard took notice of what I was doing and what my movement stood for. We shot and aired a global commercial, which began a positive snowball effect for my career.
Doctors tell me there is a procedure that could restore my hearing. One day, when I have the time and money to get my hearing fixed, I probably will have the procedure done. But right now, I need to be on the forefront with my team, fighting for the issues in society that are too often overlooked. I intend to do so through my career in music and philanthropy.
Plus, there are just some things in life better off not being heard.
When it comes down to it, life's not about all the small negative things you encounter. It's about being yourself and doing what you love to be happy. If you love something so much and have great passion for it, then just go for it. My team and I like to use the expression "Why not ... ?"
Just ask yourself, why not?

Love Note: Most Shocking Love Story Ever 1
Some love stories I know were so great. Romeo-Juliet, Siti Nurbaya, hmm, those in Closer movie, those in Susanna Tamaro’s books, in Love Stories section in radio, and many more that I know are fictions. At least semi fiction.
But today, a friend of mine told her love story. Somehow, it was shocking me for it’s the real thing. Happened in her life, in a close friend‘s life,and happened also close to my own life.
I think the most shocking part was because I know it’s real. Her feelings was so real. Her complicated situation was so real.
It was shocking because it’s real. The rest of it, I usually see in movies. Not so shocking.
In movies, I enjoy that kind of plot. I enjoy watching the chemistry between the actors. I enjoy guessing the end of the story. Just enjoying, not thinking.
In real situation, I was asked to think. To answer some ‘what should I do’ questions. To solve the next steps. To assure my friend’s feeling. Continue after page break.....

Monkeys prove scientists wrong by learning how to swim the breast stroke
from mirrors.co.uk
Two monkeys have created a splash among experts after proving that apes can learn to do the breast stroke.
Cooper the chimp and Suryia the orangutan have caused a monkey puzzle that has left scientists scratching their heads.
Most land mammals instinctively doggy paddle in the water by paddling their paws but until now it was believed that great apes were very poor swimmers.
Monkeys usually flounder around in a flurry of limbs when they find themselves out of their depth and some have even drowned in zoos that use moats to keep them enclosed.
But these two have shown they can learn the breast stroke after being brought up by humans in the USA.
Scientists watched Cooper swim in his pool in Missouri where he enjoys retrieving objects from the bottom.

ASSU Strike Still Continues After Meeting With FG
When will this end??
Just when we thought it was over then Big Madam Dr Ngozi Okonja-Iweala steps in to gently spill the bitter truth.
According to reports, she said “At present, ASUU wants the Federal Government to pay N 92 billion in extra allowances, when the resources are not there, and when we are working to integrate past increases in pensions. We need to make choices in this country as we are getting to the stage where recurrent expenditures take the bulk of our resources and people get paid but can do no work".
Continuing she also stated that "since she assumed office, the share of recurrent expenditure in our total budgets had increased astronomically. In fact, recurrent expenditure accounted for about 77.2 per cent of the federal budget and we are now working to re-balance this ratio."
The country is still suffering from the effect of the 2010 increase in salary. Do we want to get to a stage in this country that all the money we earn is used to pay salaries and allowances?
Hmmmmm!! Lets hope the next meeting will be more fruitful
