Going to the ASL event I was completely nervous and shocked that I was really about to talk to someone using sign language. This was simply mind boggling to me at the time. Once I was in the event I noticed that everyone were connected. It was simply magical to see how people connect because of being deaf. Never did I realized how powerful a language can bring people together.
Monologue of an Outsider (Running on stage) I’m finally home. (Taking off backpack) I don’t want to ever go back to school again. I wish I never moved to Canada.
Growing up in a small-town I was literally in a culture bubble. There were almost no deaf people. I just never had the opportunity to converse with someone who is deaf. As I was reading this book I noticed my internal motivation for learning ASL was changing. 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.
Although I am only in high school, I feel as though I have had a vast amount of opportunities that many other students my age have not been able to experience. Over the course of my high school career, I have recieved multiple superior awards for my science fair projects, as well as two ACE awards, which are two prime examples of how I have embodied the scholarship ideal for National Honor Society. Not only have I embodied the ideal of scholarship, but I have demonstrated the ideal of service through my involvement with Student Ambassadors. In addition, I dispkay the ideal of character when I decide to do the right thing, even during a tough situation.
This Deaf event was very different form every other deaf event that I’ve went to in the past. Let me start of by saying it was a far drive, I drove 28 miles to a place I have never been to, but it was worth the drive. This event was expensive but the reason I chose to go to this event was because it was the only one that fit in with my weekly schedule. As got to the event I was a bit late and everyone had taken their seats and there were no more seats left. But this very nice lady came to my rescue and found me a seat.

In my personal essay I acknowledged the theme of sound heart, deformed conscience. Huck goes through this when he knows he should be turning Jim in because it’s the law, but he doesn’t because he wants to help Jim. I had my conscience telling me one thing and my heart and head telling me another, when I explored my situation. My Sound Heart One night about a month or so ago, I was at a friends house. There were a few of us over, just chilling.
Lecture Post Response Dr. Joseph Murray and Dr. Brian Greenwald’s lecture, "Our Historical Memory: The National Deaf-Mute College and Alexander Graham Bell," was an opportunity for me to learn more deeply about this particular aspect of Deaf history as well evaluate my overall signing abilities. The lecture discussed Bell’s influence on the Deaf community as well as the historical and political environment during his time. The most interesting and novel topic for me was the Gallaudet Presentation Days and the political philosophies that went along with this event. From the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant to that of Theodore Roosevelt, the president, the vice president, and other high ranking dignitaries attended Presentation Day at the National
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.
I remember walking out of the doctor’s office feeling frazzled, frazzled and scared. I was only seven years old when I was told that I would be needing a surgery if I ever wanted to hear again! I Rembert just laying in bed all the time, not being able to sleep. I always constantly thinking about my surgery, and all the things that could go wrong. I tried everything, I told my parents that I would get hearing aids, I told my parents that I could live without hearing out of my right ear.
I have been a WYVA student since third grade and I’m a junior this year. I have dyslexia and the programs through K12 have let me learn at my pace. English is difficult for me what I write doesn’t always communicate what I think and see. Sentence structure is the most difficult as well as phonics. I don’t like to read out loud but love reading books to myself.
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.
On the morning of August 13, 2009, my mother was in the hospital giving birth to my baby brother, Michael. That day was a magical day for my family and I. After he was born, the doctor took my new brother to the back to run a couple of tests on him and make sure he is completely healthy. We waited patiently by my mother 's side as she began to rest. The doctor soon comes back in and says that he is fine to take home.
