236 Words1 Page

In fifteen years, meeting my old classmates again, not one of them will be surprised by me. I will tell them that I have accomplished the world. When asked to explain, they will be disappointed when I tell them stories that appear minuscule in the scheme of things. I will have touched lives. It is my altruism that will define who I become.

I now want to learn as much ASL as I possibly can, so I can chat with those I come in contact with that are deaf or hard of hearing.

    I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house. My new house was hard to get used to because it was different and I wasn 't used to it which made it hard to sleep and I had to leave my friends behind and I would have to find new friends. Making new friends was hard because I would be alone until I found new friends and I would have no one to talk to so I would be very quiet. Usually I would always be talking to a friend and I am only social with friends.

  • Deaf Culture In America

    1424 Words  | 6 Pages

    Up until now, my exposure to Deaf culture was primarily through the book, Deaf Again, that discussed Deaf culture in America, and even more specifically the Northeastern region. Even though the focuses of the book and lecture were different, I was able to see many parallels in the struggles they faced and through this gain insight into the universal aspects of sign languages. For example, Dr. de Quadros discussed the increasing academic success of Deaf individuals in Brazil when there was none previously. Deaf Again similarly discussed the theme of higher education for Deaf individuals and having pride at the increasing professional success of Deaf community members. Additionally, she discussed the debate with cochlear implants.
