    What are you thinking about? Part V

    Why are you trying to do it in 2?? Life is too short for that kind of stress. Even if it means more student loan debt, it's better to have less stress and really learn the material for your classes since it will prepare you for your career. I took 18 credit hours, the max allowed at our...

    Say vs Hearing in ASL?

    Hey everyone. I was watching one of the Bravo ASL lessons and I noticed the sign to say a person is hearing looks the same as the sign for "say" or "speak". Are they the same? Is there a difference? :ty:

    Are deaf kids bullied/harrassed more frequently than hearing kids in mainstream?

    FadedRose, I'm not deaf, so I can't understand what you went through... but I can understand what it's like to be bullied until you want to die. I wanted to be anyone but me... I hated everything about myself. I didn't trust people, and still trust really slowly. Some things that helped me...

    HI, from an Indiana ASL Student

    Whoa... I go to ISU, I'm a junior, Social Work major with a Psychology minor. :shock: I can't believe we're from the same college!!! Dr. Barratt is trying to get a sign language class, but it will probably not be for another year or two. When it is started, she said it may be a video...

    Question:

    Yes, I would love to do video chat! I just didn't think any of the fluent ASL users would want to do that. :)

    Question:

    So I have been on AllDeaf for a while now, and I have seen a million people saying "Oh I want someone to practice ASL with me!" I know that you all have to be very tired of that request!! That left me with a bit of a problem, however, because I haven't found the Deaf Community (if there...

    Sickening!!!!

    I very much disagree. He has cut funding to colleges across the state. How is this preparing the state of Indiana for the future? Colleges reacted by layoffs and tuition raises. This makes students at greater risk of needing to drop out for financial reasons or raising horrendous debt to go to...

    Advice with writing

    Hmmm... Do you know ASL? If you can't find a good website, I can help you with grammar if you teach me ASL... :) I tutor students from Arabic countries, and they really like the way I teach.

    Sickening!!!!

    I think if you lived in the areas affected by his policies, you would change your opinion very quickly.

    Sickening!!!!

    I'm assuming you say this because you are from texas. I live in Indiana, and I have NOT been impressed.

    Sickening!!!!

    No, but if you research the history of ISD and governor Mitch Daniels, you will find he supports oral education and uses his power to try to help the oral movement. I don't trust his promise to make the group "unbiased". I think he would give Hear Indiana much more power in the new center.

    Bad economy can be rosy

    Hmmm... you do have a point. A year and a half ago, I was laid off of my job. Sooooooo I am going back to college. The college makes money from me. The bookstore that sells me books makes money from me. The restaurants on campus make money from me. Later, I will have a degree and a job that...

    Sickening!!!!

    Did you watch their Youtube video?? It was posted on another thread... I heard a child talking about his experience at a HearIndiana Camp, and he said he loved it because everyone else there listened and talked like him. I was like... wow. Really??? THIS is the group who will be...

    ASL Students: Be honest, your reason???

    :hmm: Well... learning another language lets you communicate with more people. So, if I were profoundly deaf... I think I would still try to learn more languages. When I was learning Spanish, I learned more by making friends from Central America online and sending e-mails to them... in Spanish...
