1.0. CROSS CULTURAL EXPERIENCES 1.1. INTERNSHIP Back in 2010 when I was still a student at Singapore Polytechnic‚ I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to serve my internship at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS).

Personally it opened my eyes to what I’ll call the ‘real’ working environment‚ as the previous jobs I held were mainly serving as an assistant in retail (part-time). I termed

hearing people tend to pity deaf people‚ or‚ if they succeed in the hearing world‚ admire them for overcoming a severe handicap. We tend to look at signing as an inferior substitute for "real" communication. We assume that all deaf people will try to lip-read and we applaud deaf people who use their voices to show us how far they have come from the grips of their disability.
