Congrats on getting into UCLA and Berkeley! You definitely should consider majoring in biology. I fell in love with it when I took biochemistry and cell biology in junior year. Have you decided what to specialize in? Yep I will have captioning for all my classes. I'm profoundly deaf and don't sign. What services do you use? I did my undergrad at UC Davis, and I graduated at top of my class there. I was struggling in high school since I had to learn English as a second language (I'm originally from Asia). Are you planning to work at a faculty research lab at UCLA?

Hey, I have not yet decided what to specialize in..I mean I'm only a freshman now..lol..but I'm thinking about maybe specializing in possibly some field related to genetics, since I've always been so fascinated by it. I'm not looking forward to all the chemistry classes I have to take for my major..I really despise chemistry, but I really dont have any other options. I am currently using real time captioning of course for my lectures, since I was raised oral and do not know any ASL. Wow, you're originally from Asia? Which country there?

Congratulations on being accepted by UC Berkeley. You are officially a student of the best public university in the world! =) I am a native of the Bay Area and went to Berkeley myself. Let me guess, Randy is still working at DSP right?

well, written English is hard for most dhh and we often need more time for proofread writing on the examinations.

Maybe you have a reading or writing problem that is unrelated to deafness. Deafness itself is not a kind of mental disability or physical disability that prevents you from finish your test on time.

Thanks. You must be proud of being a Berkeley alumna!

Yes, Randy is still working at DSP. I have talked to him a few times.
