Uh hi.
I was born deaf in Korea. I moved to USA when I was almost 6 for having cochlear implant. That was interesting because my whole family tree was hearing. I think I am the first deaf born in my family tree. That's when I started to learn ASL. My parents wanted me to go to public schools. I remember I was in middle school that I always wish I could attend deaf school like Maryland School for Deaf in Frederick or Columbia. I just realize that my parents want me to have good education in public school. When I was in Kindergarten, I met my first interpreter who is Diana Corrigan which is my interpreter right now in my public high school. I only had seen her when I was in Kindergarten, 1st grade, 8th grade, 9th grade, and now Junior. You guys might know my interpreter's son, Chris Corrigan. He was used to attend MSD and Gallaudet University. Also, he shot a star in a movie, Black Sand. Some of you had seen that movie ones.
Anyways, I'm introducing myself that my name is Yeh Jun Kim. I'm Korean-American and 17 years old (Will be 18 in May). First deaf person that I met is Yvon Pham who is in Rochester Institution of Technology right now. I don't meet a lot of deaf people around here. I can't wait to go to RIT for meeting more deaf people.
Since now, I just realize about this website, All Deaf. I know that I saw this website before like since middle school. So, I decide to join this website for having social and learning about you guys!
Nice to meet you guys.
