Personal Experience: My Deaf Practice Simulation
I began practicing by going through my ABC’s over and over again, than I began the practice simulation. I eventually got up to fast and was able to do well so, I allowed the words to be any length. At deaf speed I struggled and had to replay a lot. At speed fast I mastered the words; marine, decide, okay, survey, upon, and dinner. I missed the words shirt, holder, outlet, handful, and molecular. Overall I did pretty well once I practiced for a little while.

    In the video lecture of Keith Nolan “Deaf in the Military,” his message did not directly pertain to the material in the readings, but did relate to the chapter and section on disabilities. Mr. Nolan’s message was to not give up if you have disabilities and that disabilities should not limit you to what you want to do in life. His lecture also identifies that employers can make accommodations for disabilities that will allow disabled employees to be productive in your organization. The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990 and is defined in chapter 2 on page 86.…

    In a Journey into the Deaf-World the author uses a revolving door to explain how hearing people may see the Deaf-World and that felt very accurate for me. I love seeing Deaf people sign, its fluid and expressive and I think beautiful. I also feel like I won’t reach that point anytime soon, or be able to sign with a Deaf person outside of class. The books assigned help give insight to the Deaf community and their practices. It’s also really helpful in learning what to not do/ learn what’s considered rude. I liked that this book included the story of the different deaf characters. It’s nice to hear about their lives and get an insight to some of their activities like the club.…

    Thomas K. Holcomb’s book, Introduction to American Deaf Culture, shines a light on the deaf community and the culture they experience. The intended audience, however, is the hearing. It gives the reader insight on deaf experiences and how the atmosphere is different, even though the environment is the same. All aspects of culture are covered. The book starts off with how the culture is formed through the 5 hallmarks (p. 17). Next, the book focuses on the identity of a deaf person. This is not only limited to, labeling from the rest of the world, but also by how the person sees himself. After, the book discusses the core values the deaf community has. These values are much different when compared to the hearing community. They focus on the person engaging as a full member of society. This is done through communication, interacting, and having a sense of self-worth in the community (104-107). Eventually, literature and art are mentioned. The classifications are difficult to place. There are American works, but with the growing awareness in the recent year they have earned their own Deaf category. This is important to the deaf community because it allows “Deaf people’s lives to be better…

    Have you ever felt God call you to do something, and yet brush it aside as though it was meant for someone else? I became enchanted with American Sign Language in high school, when I befriended a Deaf group of students. I now realize I was fascinated by the language because, unbeknownst to me at that time, I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. Any time I saw Deaf people or Sign Language Interpreters in the community, I couldn't help myself but to watch them. By the time I was a mother of two I knew I wanted to be fluent in the language, although finding the time seemed out of the question. After four children and seventeen years of marriage the door to my future career was opened. My marriage had ended and I was responsible for providing a financially stable home for my children.…

    The first event that I attended was a Starbucks Coffee Night in Pasadena. It was on April first on a Saturday. I arrived at 7:30pm and left at 8pm. There were a lot of people that attended but not all of them were there for the event I believe that there were around twenty five people that attended the event. Overall the event was as described a coffee night, many of the people had been there before and would get in groups. Some would sit down but others would chat while standing up. I thought that there would be a difference in regards to the level of personal space compared to people of hearing. To a certain degree there was but not all that different, what I found more interesting was how some of the people preferred to stand. I was really…
