When I entered Gallaudet I was ready to be a rebel
But the problem was that everyone there was drinking and if I drank I would be a follower and not a rebel
So I said drink me never
But what really nailed me was seeing my first drunk person
I was walking down the hall in Krug Hall late one night and saw a boy lurching toward the water fountain and missing
Let us call him Steve because he looked like a Steve to me
Not a big cowboy Steve but a little runt kind of Steve
So this Steve had his cheek on the wall his eyes gone and there was no one around
I decided to help him by pulling him to front of the fountain
But his head dropped on the eew
I held his head up so the water could get into his mouth and he seemed to drink some
Then Steve struggled up and seemed to be leaning toward the bathroom
I tried asking him if he wanted bathroom but it was no good
I held his shoulders from behind and steered him into the bathroom
Urinal or stall
Steve was swaying so I couldn’t be sure which he wanted
He seemed more inclined to go to the urinals so I steered him there
Wanting to give him privacy I stepped back and let go of his shoulders
His head hit the wall and he peed in his pants
So much for that
But I decided Steve had to have his hands washed if nothing else and I steered him to one of the sinks
He leaned over it and things things CHUNKS began coming out of his mouth
I didn’t know what to do
I looked around but there was no one to help me
I began pounding Steve’s back
The chunks kept coming out and I had to move poor Steve to another sink
One and a half sinks of chunks
Me be like that
Never
