Orlando lost hearing at the age of one.cerman was born deaf,and his parents moved from Mexico to find
a school where he could learn sign language.He met Orlando on their first day of kindergarten.
"We were in a special class with about 25 other deaf kids,"German remembers."Before then,I didn't
know I was deaf and that I was different."
"Being young and deaf in regular classes was very hard,"signs Orlando,"The other kids didn't under-
stand us and we didn't understand them,But we'ye all grown up together,and today,I'm popular because
I'm deaf. Kids try hard to communicate with me.”
Some things are very difficult for the two boys."We can't talk on the phone,so if we need help,we
can't call an emergency service,"German signs."And we can't order food in drive-thru."
Despite their difficulties,the two boys have found work putting food in bags at a local supermarket. They
got their jobs through a"workability"program,designed for teenagers from local schools with different types of
learning disabilities.
German has worked in the supermarket since August,and Orlando started in November.

times.At first,we were nervous,but we'ye learned a lot and we're getting better."
