Hello everyone, hope you all are doing well and preparing for your exams. I have the privilege of being the last person to start the blog and to wrap up the year. I know that we have all worked hard and learned a lot this semester. Only being a freshman, this class really helped me dive into my major. Several things have opened my eyes to what my major really holds. I’ve realized how important language is when it comes to deaf students.

On Tuesday, we will be participating in a discussion for our Deaf connections project. In all honesty, I’m very nervous to get up in front of the class and take the position of another person. At the same time, I’m very excited to see how everyone has a different perspective when it comes to their role. I think personally seeing the different perspectives and hearing the different backgrounds will be beneficial for when I have students of my own. I think this will help me take in the consideration of the background of each student. I want to be able to have those personal caring relationships with my students. With this all being said I’m curious to see what your feelings are behind this project? Are you nervous or excited? Do you feel like this is beneficial for your major?
