Heather+Whitestone

====//**Heather Whitestone had a rough childhood. But she found one thing that hid her feelings of being an outsider. It was the dance studio.**// //**She exemplidied perseverance by overcoming her rough childhood, Doctors predictions, And her danceing and pageant.**// ====

//**Heather Persevered her young childhood.**//
====//**She fought through it and she would be fine. Her mother wouldent let her learn sign language insted she made her use body language. And watch peoples lips to understand what they were saying. She was able to understand some but not everything. The thing that made her deaf was from a childhood infection with Haemophilus influenzae type B.**// ====

//**Heather over came what doctors said.**//
====//**They said she will never develop beyond a third grade educational level. She ignored those that said she would never be able to dance and speak. But she graurated high school with GED score of 3.6. And she started making books about her life. Here are is books she made: non-fiction book: __'Let God Surprise You: Trust God With Your Dreams__,' by Heather Whitestone.**// ====

//**Heather overcame her dancing and pageants challages.**//
====//**Heather woulden't be able to hear the song. So she would have to tap and make-up a song. When she won the pageant she had to look around her to tell that she had won. When a dance teacher teaches her a new dance she has to do it in a body language, because she would'nt understand the teacher. By the way she was the winner of most pagents.**//====
