Recommended: Gallaudet school for deaf

Going to the California School of the Deaf in Fremont was a really fun and interesting experience. In the beginning as I walked in with a couple other ASL students, I felt intimidated because a lot of people were signing and the signs were way more complex than what I have learned so far. We walked in and tried to get a feel for the campus by walking around and observing the many beautiful murals. Then we decided to go into the gym and see some of CSD’s high school students perform the Eagle Fight Song, which I really enjoyed. The Fight Song was really passionate and the students performing were showing so many emotions through their body language and facial expressions. The Fight Song showed a Deaf Can attitude and that Deaf people can overcome

    Through Deaf Eyes is a documentary conveying various aspects of Deaf life, such as school, culture, and deaf history. It was filled with information and provides a great overview.

  • Analysis Of The Movie Love Is Never Silent

    1087 Words  | 3 Pages

    The film "Love is Never Silent" is an emotional movie build with sad, joyful, angry and excitement feelings. When Margaret 's little brother dies I felt so sorry for her family and especially for her because she would be alone in the hearing and sign world. But everything got better when she met her husband, which was so emotional; to see her finally be happy. Although it was frustrating when Margaret kept putting off telling people she had deaf parents, since to me it seemed like that was nothing to be ashamed of at all. It is sad to see deaf people be in a way, discriminated for being deaf like the scene in the movie where the factory boss blames a woman of being guilty for getting hurt just for being deaf. Also when Margaret 's father buys the audiogram to prevent him from signing to Margaret are her graduation, it was so sad to see that scene of the movie because you can how much Margaret 's parent care for Margaret and how they want to blended it with the other parents.The whole movie was great and truly improve my knowledge of how deaf people lived their life with the birth of a hearing child. Therefore being in this class has taught me a great amount of the way deaf culture has developed and how people throughout history have made a great change in the life 's of deaf people. I have never known or met a deaf person in my life, but taking ASL was one of the

  • Reflection Of Through Deaf Eyes

    867 Words  | 2 Pages

    The documentary of “Through Deaf Eyes” has open my eyes to the deaf culture. The movie has made it “click” that deaf people are just that people and individuals like me. Deaf community has its struggles just like everyone else. They struggle with growing into who they are as a person, harmful situations, and feeling a sense of belonging. They just speak a different language like Italians and Hispanics. Communicating with a different language does not make them lesser than a hearing person. When able to learn to communicate, the deaf are able to learn and gain knowledge just like a hearing person. The only difference is they have to learn more and work harder to achieve their goals and gain knowledge, which a hearing person learns just by hearing their surroundings.

  • Should Deaf People Peddle Abc Cards Essay

    1003 Words  | 3 Pages

    Should deaf people have the freedom to make money however they want? This is one of the controversial issues in the deaf community; if the deaf peddlers should be allowed to peddle ABC cards in public areas or not. The reason it is so controversial is because it’s set up to stereotype deaf people as being unable to work and that they are not educated enough to get a real job. The stereotype is also the very reason that deaf people are unable to get a job because of the discrimination that deaf people are facing. Hearing people can also take advantage of this since it is easy to pretend as a deaf person, making it difficult for the public to trust deaf people and see them in such a negative way. Therefore, I believe that deaf people should not

I saw kids chattering, but was so shy to meet them. The kids were welcoming and I quickly made friends through talking. This moment I felt that talking is now part of me as it is ingrained into my soul. Signing has left my soul.

Today I am a senior in high school who was once thought to struggle, but was able to succeed beyond expectations.
