Personal Narrative: My Tripod Program
I had already known SEE when I enrolled in ASL 1 in college.
When I started the first grade, I was lucky enough to be placed in what was coined the tripod program. In this program were deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing students in the same class. I was in the program throughout my years in k-12. In elementary school all my teachers would Sim-com, and once I got to 6th grade we had interpreters. Being 7 years old when I started the program, I was able to sponge up the signs rather quickly.
I was always eager to sign at school and at home. I knew even at a young age the importance of signing at school, and including my peers in anything I was saying. Regardless if they could hear or not. I wouldn’t have chosen his path for my life if it wasn’t
