I was very hesitant about our first class and I did not understand how this class would pertain to me. I have always sworn that I would never work in the school systems and was kind of "forced" into my major as there was no way to only major in interpreting. However; as soon as class started I realized that while I still don't see the connection I was going to enjoy the teacher and the discussions (especially after the second class) between students. I hope to make connections between what this class teaches and what I hope to do for my deaf clients and hopefully, be better understanding of how they learn and think. I enjoy seeing my fellow students passionate about a subject even if I am not.
One concern that I have that I feel will be addressed in this class is my inability to feel comfortable talking in front of crowds. I have never been good at it but am still so interested and excited to learn how to better handle myself in front of groups.
Anyway, enough about me. See you all next class.
