Hello!
My name is Andee I'm 21 years old, I'm hearing, and have been learning ASL for a little while now. I have been exposed to ASL at various points throughout my life, in high school I used the internet to teach myself as best I could because my school didn't have any classes, and in college I took ASL 1 and most of ASL 2. I took a year off from school and I am now taking online ASL courses through Galluadet. My goal is to attend Galluadet's Bachelors of Arts in Interpretation program.
Taking my first ASL class really ignited my passion and I am so excited to be back in classes. Aside from my passion for ASL I also enjoy sewing, crocheting, and learning about true crime (I promise I am not creepy).
I am here just hoping to learn more from the deaf/HoH community. Unfortunately with COVID I have not been able to go to any deaf events in my area but I would like to get involved in the community once it is safe to do so.
I thought it would be nice to have a sort of ice breaker so if you don't mind answering: what is one thing you think it is important for me as a hearing person/future interpreter to know about the deaf experience/community?
I look forward to getting to know all of you and seeing your answers!
Thank you!
