OKAY HERE'S A BASIC RUNDOWN OF WHY I'M IN ENGLAND.
My minor is Deaf Studies & both my parents can’t hear - so that is what sparked my interest
I am the recipient of the Gilman Scholarship :) and I soon will be receiving funds to make my own project sharing what I have learned with whoever I desire.
- My goal is to share with students to take advantage of the opportunities that colleges have to offer- you can also learn so much OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM.
- I am taking a Deaf Community & Culture course and have 2 Deaf Students in my class- so I observe the interpreters all day (BECAUSE IM FASCINATED THAT THE SIGN LANGUAGES ARE SO DIFFERENT)
- I WANT TO MAKE A PROJECT BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START
- A friend told me to make a video that shows how we (HEARING) people order food in a restaurant & how Deaf people order food.
- I have the opportunity to learn British Sign Language informally because their course runs all year and I am only here for a semester.
- I have came to the conclusion that this project will be a Deaf Awareness Project but I really want my viewers help in deciding what I should include in it :)
