We Are Deaf: One and Many

Posted by chillygurlz on January 24, 2009

Hello everyone… I am proud to be Deaf and that is who I am… I have joined girl scouts with my other deaf girls in elementary school, I went with group of deaf kids to bowling or fishing after school. I joined Nebraska school for the deaf and did key club and jr NAD. I also joined Iowa school for the deaf and did sports, joined church with other deaf kids. As a child i met a deaf signing santa along with other deaf kids and we went to social events, it was fun. as a senior, i joined Grants pass High school, for my senior year, I did a senior project on “Deaf” to teach hearing people about deaf and how they live their daily life and I went to few schools, taught few 2nd grade classes about deaf and taught them some signs. it was alot of fun… also I volunteered at library, working with storytime, i also taught kids some signs every week. Today, i go to library to use internet on regular basis, i sometimes chat with my friends on cam on computer, so i use sign out in public to encourage ppl when they see me sign, they get curious and might want try signing… that my thought. So i have done alot for my deaf community too… I am proud to be Deaf… thanks for watching…

    Rita…

    That’s wonderful to get involved with library by reading the books to the children in ASL, and also teaching ASL other kids in various schools. Keep it up what you’re giving back to the Deaf Community.

    Misha :D
