The word coda is most often used by children of deaf adults themselves, as a way to self-identify, as well as by organizations composed of such members. Coda can also be used as an adjective, as in coda culture or CODA organizations.

It’s typically used as a noun to refer to such a person, as in As codas, we have a unique connection to the Deaf community. However, some may use the capitalized form Deaf in all cases, including when spelling out the meaning of the acronym CODA.Ĭoda is pronounced as a word and not as individual letters (that is, not like C-O-D-A). In other contexts, the capitalized form Deaf is typically used in terms referring to the culture or community of deaf people-and sometimes even more specifically to refer to those who use American Sign Language (ASL) as a primary means of communication. The term child of deaf adult(s) uses the word deaf in a general way to mean completely or partially without the sense of hearing. (The acronym koda, for kid of deaf adult(s), is sometimes used to distinguish such a person as being under 18.) It does not necessarily refer to a young person-the word child is used to indicate the family relationship, as opposed to the age. Coda is typically used to specifically refer to a hearing person who has a deaf parent or parents or a deaf guardian or guardians.

Stepping out of your comfort zone is always exhilarating, but don't force yourself to do things that make you feel uncomfortable. Yes, these are life changing attributes to a person, and everyone should be commended for trying new things, but don't try to change you just because its a new year. Every year we hear 'New Year New Me!!', and the most that comes out of it is someone dyes their hair or gets a tattoo.

This cliche is the most over used and most underdone.
