Sally, a shy 11-year-old girl who is deaf, struggles with accepting her hearing aid at school. Embarrassed, she hides it under her long brown hair, fearing what her classmates might think. Her journey takes her through obstacles of misunderstanding and loneliness, until a breakthrough leads to acceptance and honesty, bringing her closer to her friends.
Sally was starting at a new school, and she was nervous. She didn’t want anyone to notice her hearing aid, so she hid it under her long brown hair. Her heart raced every time someone came close. She worried they’d find out and laugh. Sally wanted to fit in, but hiding was making her feel more alone.
On her first day, Sally tried to join a group playing during recess. But she couldn’t hear them clearly and felt left out. She kept nodding, pretending to understand. " - Why are you so quiet?" a girl asked, making Sally's heart sink. Her silence only made her feel more invisible.
Sally faced more challenges when group projects started in class. " - Can you hear what the teacher said?" her partner asked, and Sally just nodded, feeling ashamed. She missed important instructions and felt like she was failing. The more she tried to hide, the harder it became to keep up. Her fear of being different was turning into a real problem.
One day, Sally felt so overwhelmed that she thought about giving up. She wished she didn’t have to hide anymore. " - I’ll just take it off," she thought, removing her hearing aid. But everything went silent, and she felt even more isolated. It seemed like she would never fit in.
Then, a kind teacher noticed Sally's struggle. " - It's okay to be honest about who you are," she said gently. Inspired, Sally decided to show her hearing aid. Her classmates were curious but understanding. They even asked her to teach them some sign language. Sally realized that honesty brought her closer to her friends.
From that day on, Sally felt more confident. She no longer hid her hearing aid and embraced who she was. " - Thank you for sharing with us," her friends said, and Sally smiled, feeling lighter. The more they learned, the closer they became. Sally learned that being honest was the key to true friendship.
