Q. What made you want to do bowling?
A. Well I was interested in it first. I bowled a few times when I was younger, I had my own 8 pound bowling ball. And I just thought it was really interesting at first. I didn’t expect to like it, but I love it so much.
Q. What do you like to do in your free time?

Q. What’s it like being hard of hearing and living with it in school?
A. It’s okay, maybe sometimes hard to hear when it’s loud around the room. It’s really bad when you accidentally forget to charge your implants, and one of them dies during school and you can only hear with one ear. That happened to me once or twice before, but I had like an extra battery in my locker. So I was thankful for that.
Q. What’s something that people always assume with being hard of hearing?
A. I think they assume that I don’t hear loud enough. That I would always need the microphone. But I can hear regularly, but sometimes they think it’s too hard to hear. But it’s not always too hard.
Q. What’s something You wish people knew about being hard of hearing?
A. Sometimes I wish people knew how quiet they were. It sounds like they are whispering, I wish they could speak loud enough sometimes.
