 “From Human Target to Secret Weapon for the FBI” is both powerful and transforming as she talks about the ‘bullies’ in the classroom and the ‘human targets’ on the playground. Drawing from her own personal experiences as the only deaf kid in her public school district,

Sue Thomas has a unique ability to reach all school aged youth.

 

Go "Behind the Scenes with Sue Thomas:FBEye" and see that from her earliest recollection, Sue Thomas looked forward to boarding that yellow school bus with her brothers. But as the only deaf child in her community the classroom presented unique learning challenges, compounded by the ridicule and bullying of her classmates. This is the personal testimony of how one teacher's dedication made a life-changing difference.

 

"The Agony of Defeat..the Joy of Triumph" shares the story of a child full of hopes and dreams... but a teacher's worst nightmare. Drawing from true life experiences Sue shares that it is only through experiencing failure that we can truly understand success.

 

In “Changing Lives” Sue champions those who saw potential in a little deaf kid. Although Sue’s silence hindered her learning the academics in the traditional school setting, the life-lessons she took home were far greater than found in any textbook.
