Ashlie Day 1 &2








It was time for a new president, and the people of the Board of Trustees elected a hearing person as president. Deaf people did not agree with this decision, they grew boiling mad. This was because deaf people don’t understand hearing people, so how will deaf and hearing people communicate? : Is what the deaf people said. So they planned to fight for their right of having a deaf president and they agreed that they would not stop until they have succeeded at this…
I 100% agree with the deaf people, because around this time hearing people didn’t care much for deaf people and if I was born around this time and old enough to understand this argument I would’ve been very upset also because I am hard-of-hearing and very close to becoming deaf. Hearing people always got their way: hearing president, after hearing president, after hearing president…Now it was deaf people’s turn.

My advice to everyone: Just like the deaf people in this event, you should always fight for your right (what you believe in)!!!

Hello there, I've gotta admit, i was almost at a loss as to understand your signing, not because it's incorrect but because of the sheer speed and fluidity of your fingers.

I've just started this class, and I've gotta say I'm honered to meet you, and hopefully in the coming months we'll get to converse more often.

All the best-Alex

P.S.- Are you a leftie (do you sign/write with your left hand).
