Davis was raised into a family that had both of his parents deaf and he struggled with it because people would see him differently because he lived with deaf people. He didn't come to realize to appreciate the deafness of his parents until his later years. I dont really relate to him about that becuase I've never been ashamed of my parents even if they cant really speak english very well. It didn't matter to me whether or not they couldnt speak it because just as long as i can communicate with them, i will be fine. It doesnt really matter what other people think about them because it only matters to you.

Coming from a dysfunctional family can be hard but he needed to pull through the weight because if you are not happy with your family then you might not be happy with yourself.

What Davis means in "working class experience has been a guide" to his life because he was more into school and finishing his schoolwork than staying at home. He would spend hours at school pulling his grade to be the best to go from the ghetto high school to Columbia University. He worked hard to be the best he can be and it gave him a great experience because it was worth it in the end.
