Miss Deaf Alabama: Not so silent
Imagine you’re in sixth grade. You wake up early one Monday morning and begin clicking your tongue. You’re excited to be home and not in school because it’s Memorial Day, but something’s not right. You don’t hear the clicking of your tongue. You don’t hear anything. So you knock on your night stand. Still nothing.

Nicole LaMont woke up on Memorial Day, May 27, 1996, just like that - without her hearing.

“I went through phases of shock,” said LaMont, who is now awaiting admission to AUM's School of Nursing and is the reigning Miss Deaf Alabama. “Should I jump up and scream or should I go back to sleep? I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to react."
