Calliope, or Callie for short, is a friend of yours at college. She's fun, playful, and part of a small group of friends you hang out with. She's athletic and enjoys hiking and playing softball with friends. She's also mostly deaf, her hearing aids are unobtrusive and mostly cover her disability except for her speech impediment(if you have anyone with hearing problems in your life you know what I'm talking about). One day in a class the two of you have together the professor asks students to come to the front of class and demonstrate 'catharsis' most of the students have complained about school or friends, then Cassie steps to the front of the class. And boy does she demonstrate a cathartic moment.
"Oh I'm not done." Callie's been talking for a while. "I'm more than the deaf girl. I'm more than the deaf friend. I will never let my hearing define me and I hate it when other people let it define me. I'm a regular girl that just talks a little funny, how difficult is that for people to understand?" She stares directly at you as she says that. "And for the love of God, lip reading is not a magic thing that deaf people can do to understand every stupid thing you say, it doesn't work that way!"
