Being someone i am not

Today's key issues lesson was amazing. To start with we were understanding how it would feel to be someone we are not, with disabilities or in situations we could never comprehend being in. I was given 'a 17 year old with no hearing'. I know what I experienced from one lesson could not even compare to what someone who has to live with it would experience. So, taking on this role I spent the lesson with my fingers in my ears to block out as much noise as possible. And even though I could hear bits every now and then, I found it increasingly hard to concentrate on the lesson and lip read every thing someone was saying and be able to interact with the others in the class. Really opened my eyes to what other people experience but theirs would be on a greater level.
I think this small experience will help me understand people who are different to me, and except people more for who they are and not judge them, thinking everyone is just like me. We are all so different. All our time lines and things we have been through in our lives are different and its awesome to think God made us all individual but loves us all equally.
