Ever  since I was a little girl, I have wanted to be a teacher. Growing
up  Deaf  with  the  use  of  speech and sign language has helped me

   
realize  the  importance  of  Deaf  Education,  especially  its 
indispensable  role  in  language  and  academic  development  for
Deaf  children.  I  want  all  children  to  have  equal  access  to
D E A F E D U C A T O R 
language,  especially  Deaf  children  who  need  the visual language
      to  learn  in  school.  I  am  excited to provide a positive environment 
and learning experiences for my future students.
