| Publisher Description: This book tells about a deaf President, Robert R. Davila, who was a culmination of his career as the highest appointed deaf official ever in the U.S. Undergoing childhood poverty in a migrant farming family as well as an illness in 1943 at age 11 that left him profoundly deaf, he persevered to become one of the first deaf persons in history to earn a doctorate. He did so at a time when interpreting in higher education had not yet become a professional support service. Davila worked unfailingly to achieve positions of stature as vice president of Gallaudet University, the president of three major deaf education organizations. These moments can help you to raise motivation in any situation. |
