Personal Narrative: My Trip To Gallaudet

515 Words3 Pages

I went on the ASL Club’s trip to Gallaudet this year. Though we had to meet early, I was very excited to experience a new place that had a culture all its own. The trip up to Gallaudet was uneventful, but the moment we arrived on campus, everything interesting. The campus was absolutely beautiful and I wanted to explore it. Before we toured the campus, we went to get food. The market was chaotic and busy, but it was amazing to see the mix of people, Deaf and not. Once we had food, we sat in the outside area, ate lunch, and mingled. This gave me time to “soak in” the fact that I was at Gallaudet. I had learned so much about it when I was little, due to the fact that I was interested in knowing about every college in the United States, and it …show more content…

Each person was extremely friendly, and they helped us through conversations. This part was hard for me, not because I did not want to chat, but because I started to feel sick. At the time I thought I had a cold, but it turned out it was the beginning of the viral pneumonia I had. I was upset that I was having trouble paying attention due to my illness, but I appreciated the kindness and concern of everyone there. Also during this meeting, I learned that I did not know as much ASL as I would like to know. I had a little trouble keeping up with the conversations and wished I knew more signs to get across what I wanted to say. Thankfully, everyone was understanding, and they slowed things down when I needed them to. Following this, my friend Taylor and I went to grab food and explore the campus on our own. It was fun to just walk around and occasionally chat with a passing student. Each person we had a conversation with was friendly, which is not usually the case at other colleges. The whole trip was incredible, and even though I was sick, I had one of the best days. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and I am so glad that I decided to go on the trip. If the ASL club decides to do more of these trips in the future, I will definitely come

  • Personal Narrative: Lafayette Escadrille

    932 Words  | 4 Pages

    Hi, I’m Eugene Skinner, and I was part of the Lafayette Escadrille during World War I, which was a squadron of primarily American fighter pilots who fought for France before the United States entered the war. Although I lived in France at the time, my roots were dug in the US, and I came over seas because my father told me that all races were treated equally there, and for the most part, that was true. However, when I first moved to France, the only job I could find was one as a carnival target, which sufficed until I was noticed for my boxing talent. Just before the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, I moved to Paris in hopes of making it big, and I did: I ranked number four in the country before I enlisted. But why would I end something so wonderful, you ask?

Kickoff was at eight o’clock in the evening, so that meant my day started at eleven in the morning in “Happy Valley.”

    What kind of music could represent New York? Could it be the Broadway musical that bloomed on the heart of Manhattan? Or could it be the Hip Hop that hid in the shadow of the Bronx? To me, Broadway was more like a pretentious extravaganza, and Hip Hop carried too much burden. The true New York was perhaps just like a Jazz, indulging in its own success.
