Can't Hear, But That Doesn't Stop Him

Ok so I was at the Exton Mall tonight. I met manyyy new people and became friends with them. But one stood out imparticular. His name is Caleb.
Caleb is deaf. But it doesn't seem to slow him down at all. He hangs with the chill kids. He IS a chill kid. Hairspray in his hair, has snakebites, whatever---he's so cool. Yeah, it's different not being able to actually TALK to him, but I was totally ok with it. This dude is a freakin TEXTING MACHINE. That's how he converses with people alot. I mean there's facial expressions, and sign language as well.
He also has a great personality. He's into photography. From the amount that he actually legit hear, he likes rock music alot. He likes orange soda---Crush is NOT his favorite. He's a gymnast. He's into scary movies. He likes astronomy. He likes to chill at the mall alot.
And the awesome thing is, he has a ton of friends. If he has a problem with you, he'll tell you straight up. But he acts sooooo chill with his friends. Just hangs out. Dances and skips around. He's just an all around cool kid.
So he proved to me that being deaf doesn't mean your life has to suck. He seems perfectly fine with how he is. He has a ton of friends. He is one of my friends.
This one is to him. Caleb.
