Interview with Rachel Mazique, NAD Miss Deaf America Ambassador
NAD: Where are you from? What was it like where you grew up?
Rachel Mazique: I am from a suburb of Chicago - Arlington Heights, IL. Growing up in the suburbs provided for a quiet neighborhood life, but I had a great education. My parents specifically chose the area because it is three minutes from John Hersey High School, a high school [which has] a good deaf program (mainstreamed with hearing students). It is also the alma mater of the deaf actress and writer, Marlee Matlin!
