My most recent book purchase was I Am A Soldier Too by Rick Bragg. It's the story of the young Army soldier, Jessica Lynch, who was captured then rescued early in the Iraq War. I'm not too far along yet, though. If any of you are unfamiliar with Rick Bragg, you should probably start with his...

AquaBlue, Your early assessment of the Remains of the Day is right. A beautiful written, unforgettable story - enjoy! I am new to alldeaf.com, so you're probably already done with it by the time I posted this. The movie is brilliantly acted, also. One of those rare stories in which the writing...

Shel90, As you may have read above, I never cease to be amazed by the level of emotion in the posts I've read so far. I'm only beginning to understand how much you might need a break. Still, may I use some of your posts for info? Because I'm so new to this field, I'm very ignorant and can...

Byrdie714, Exactly the kind of reply I was hoping for - thank you. Tell me if you will: you said you used TC in being homeschooled. What is your hearing status and that of your siblings? Thanks again, prayerflag

scottw, Have you been at gally long enough to give advice? I'm hearing, and an interpreting student, thinking about transferring. What do you say? good luck, prayerflag p.s. Since I wrote the first part of this I've seen other posts that say a hearing undergraduate has to be fluent in...

Bottesini, I'm sure you're right about many threads on the subject. I posted my own because it included specific questions assigned by my instructor to be answered. I have only begun exploring. As a 1st semester ASL Interpreting student who is hearing, I am overwhelmed by the quantity, the...

Byrdie714, Absolutely tell me what you know about homeschooling. I would love to offer insight on that experience to my instructor and my class. Thanks for your quick response, prayerflag

Deborah, For an unbiased view of deaf education, you might try 'Hands and Voices' at handsandvoices.org. They do not take a stand on which is best, and seem to promote whatever type of education is the best fit for each individual child. You can reach the director, Leeanne Seaver, at the...

iaskedalice09, You gave so much info above, I'd like to ask you two questions? Could you respond to my thread on "residential versus mainstream education - which best?". I know you've already given much, but specific input from you would be great. Also, may I use information you've offered in...

Thanks so much for your insight. I think my post was a little intimidating given all the questions that I asked. The idea of a split placement hadn't occurred to me. Exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. If you know anyone else who could supply information such as you did, please...
