Thank you so much! This will really help.
You will be happy to know that at my school Deaf events are requirements. Of the four classes I am taking...Intro to Interp, ASL 2, Fingerspelling, and Visual Gesture, they each require we attend at least 3 events where we must interact with the Deaf community. Tonight I am going to a Deaf Ed panel about educating Deaf kids and tomorrow night is a social at the mall food court. So that means I must attend about one event a week during this semester.
Last weekend we had 3 different events I attended. We also have Deaf Dinners, bowling, etc. I am really getting to know the Deaf community here.
I also think interaction is invaluable. So do my professors. We are lucky here in Houston that we have a very involved community.
Thank you again! Gotta leave in a few minutes, it will take me over an hour to drive across town for the panel.
