She couldn't wait to see the world through her son's eyes, but she soon learned that life had unforeseen plans in store. While Silvia dreamed of teaching her son about the world, it turned out she would also need to teach the world about her son. Silvia will share her journey of being the champion and advocate of her Deaf son, and the pride she feels in being his mom.

Esteban Rosas: "Veteran Me"
