hello! My name is Michaela. I am 18 years old, and in college studying to be a nurse. I am very excited to join this site and meet some new people! I am not deaf or hoh, but i am curious to learn about deaf culture, and hopefully relieve some of my assumptions and make some friends. What i would really like to know, is how does it feel to be on this site? I mean, to be able to communicate with people who have similar qualities as your own, who can understand you on a level that no one else can?
The reason I am asking is because I am writing a paper on Cultural Space, and the deaf culture really intrigues me. It does so because i think we have FAR too many assumptions about the way deaf people run their lives. I think that a lot of people live under the assumption that deaf people and hoh people as well, are bound by their deafness and treat it as a disability. I want to show in my paper that this isnt true! so any feedback you could give me would be REALLY appreciated!! Thank you so much!!!

Hello,

Welcome to Alldeaf and enjoy your stay here ;)....
 
:wave: Hello and welcome to AD. It will be nice to have you around here.
I have always wanted to become a nurse but I have never got to follow my dream yet :)
 
go for itttt

Hey! Thanks for welcoming me to the site, i am hoping to learn a lot and make some new friends. Although i joined for a paper, i am not planning on leaving once its finished, this is a really neat site, and everyone is so nice!
Yea, nursing is really exciting to me. I am only in my first year, just finishing up my prerequisites, i still have 2 years to go until i even touch my major, ick! But there is a lot to look forward to. You should definitely go for it, you'd have a great time. Financial aid is amazing, without it, school would be a difficult thing for me to do. I hope you get a chance to study nursing. :P

(ok i was just searching for a smiley, and there are some NASTY ones on there!!! haha eeewwww)
