Marathon Set Backs
It has been a while since I have posted a blog post for hearingspanglish.blog and I am glad that you are with me today. I was hesitant to write the blog and to publish it. Why? Because I really wanted to write about my cochlear implant marathon from the view of rainbows and unicorns.
GRIT: When you fall down, you get back up!
Part of the cochlear implant marathon is getting back up after a set back. In my last blog I talked about how during the cochlear implant marathon we may have set backs along the way.

Many grocery stores have transitioned to self-checkout lines, and my go-to, Aldi, has converted most of theirs to self-check.
