Through Deaf Eyes

gBlog Of course I watched the PBS movie Through Deaf Eyes when it was originally shown on television, like just about everyone else I know! I loved it, and I wished I could see it again, but it never turned up on TV after that. Fortunately, my sister-in-law gave it to me for Xmas! [...]

gBlog I have a couple of suggestions for deaf people who use VRS often. I am speaking as a VRS interpreter, but not for any particular company. Please don't get mad if we have to transfer you to another interpreter. I promise, we have a good reason for doing so. If you already know what options [...]

gBlog Casey, the other hearing student on this blog, posted about what it's like for her to be hearing at Gallaudet. She feels that 99% of students are completely accepting, and a few of the teachers maybe a little less so, but she has never been outright rejected because she is hearing. My experience is a [...]

The Gallaudet Experience Part II

gBlog I was able to answer a few questions in my last blog, and I'll try to wrap up the last few in this one. My actual experience at Gallaudet has been a mixed one, but overall, incredible. Upon arriving here, I honestly was very afraid of rejection and loneliness even though I had not experienced [...]

The Gallaudet Experience

gBlog Many people have asked me since I started coming to Gallaudet University, “Do you like going to Gallaudet?” “What is it like?” “Are you accepted there by the other students?” “Was it hard to get accepted to the university?” I am going to take a break from my other story and go ahead and answer some [...]

gBlog I'm a hard of hearing student who went to Lincoln high school, which is a mainstream school in Tacoma WA. Wasn't to sure where I wanted to go after I graduated from high school.

gBlog So this past week, a big theme among the freshman was their “turning point,” or a time in their lives that deeply impacted them, typically these turning points are deaf-related. I'm not a freshman, but I knew about this topic not only through my friends, but I had to explain to one student I tutor [...]

just throwing some thoughts out on the table

gBlog I was working at the Homecoming football game (yes, I was one of those people sporting those *ama-za-zing* buff shirts that read bison crewgo me) and experienced a rather :-\ (for the lack of words) moment. One man asked me for something, and signed pretty please and I retorted with with sugar on top? This [...]

To Go Or Not To Go...Now?

gBlog In my last blog, I left you saying that God had different plans for me than what I was expecting. I thought I would graduate with my A.A.S. in December of 2007 and attend Gallaudet in the Spring of 2008. However, by God's wonderful plan and design, my plans changed. It was the spring of 2007, [...]

gBlog I always am asked, "Why Gallaudet? Why did you decide to come here?" Those questions are almost assuredly inquired after someone discovers that I am hearing. What's a hearing person doing at a Deaf university anyways? My answer is simple. I love Deaf people and I love ASL. Where else can I go that such a community exists where these two things can be...

"Sail away from the Safe Harbor"

gBlog "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." — Mark Twain My first experience of traveling with Deaf was brought about by the annual East Texas Deaf Fest...

2 1/2 weeks somehow felt like 2 months...

gBlog Okay, that wasn't necessary in the worse sense of things. When I got back to Maryland/DC after 2 1/2 weeks in Michigan, it somehow felt like I'd been gone for 2 months... like a typical college summer vacation. Weird. That was nice in the sense that "made" my summer a bit longer! School begins again in only 2 weeks. Wow. Michigan [...]
