Annette's Story

Achieving against the odds - Congratulations!
Bethany was born deaf. Her parents wanted the best for their beautiful new baby and chose to give her a Cochlear implant. Over the years Bethany developed as any normal hearing child, attending mainstream schools and participating in the activities all teenagers enjoy. In 2011 Bethany completed Year 12 in High School. This final year of school is a challenge for all teenagers, let alone one who was born deaf. But Bethany achieved her certificate with a University entrance score of 93.55 out of a possible 100 including a Merit (or full marks) for one subject. This makes Bethany one of the top achievers for 2011 and her choice of career paths is wide open.
Having a Cochlear Implant is about the benefits of hearing in a hearing world. Bethany is an example for everyone; hearing or deaf and shows what can be achieved with patience and perseverance. Congratulations Bethany and all the best for a bright and promising future.
