Rain drops for the first time

After I first got lost and was late to a very important to me event, then spectacularly bombed the sample lesson I was preparing for for days, and finally got back to my car to find my first ever parking ticket on the windshield, a bit of encouragement -- even cheesy encouragement -- didn't seem bad at all.

I roamed through the bookshelves marked "Inspirational" while waiting for my interview at a nearby bookstore. GMH (Gives me Hope), a positive alternative to FML, looked rather appropriate for the moment. One of the pages described a girl who woke up to a sound of rain drops and her mom fixing breakfast. "She never cried harder in her life", it continued. Apparently, the girl was deaf from birth.

The story was too simplistic for my liking, but it made me wonder how it would be to hear a sound of someone cracking open an egg if you've never heard it before. What would it be like to start perceiving noises as an adult? I think I would cry too...because I'd be scared.
