I agree with many people here. I think going to Gallaudet is a good idea. I need a lot of support. My family doesnt really support me and I depend on other people so often. I miss having deaf friends and I think I could benefit a lot by attending Gallaudet for a year.
I don't want to enroll a four year program at Gallaudet but they do offer visiting student program. I can take classes there for two semesters and then return back to my home institution, at UMASS. So I will probably feel better by accepting more support- interpreters, carts, notetakers, etc after attending Gallaudet or NTID. And more importantly I want to study animal science/zoology so I want to have a degree for that. Gallaudet and NTID doesn't have that.
I actually think this is a good plan.. I think it could work out great. I need to grow and to learn about the deaf community, and to accept myself being deaf.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! Your comments are super helpful- much love!!
