Hi Everyone,

My name is Allison and I'm new to this group. I did read the thread about please dont ask questions if i can go out and search them for myself, SO please do not think I ignored it. I will explain myself.

Like I said my name is Allison, and Im studying to be a Speech Language Pathologist and I have become very interested in the Deaf culture and want to learn more. I am taking a class my senior year of college called Deal Culture and I was asked to Interview someone who is deaf. If anyone would be okay with me asking them questions, there are about 33 that would be amazing. I do not want to offend anyone with my thread so if this has upset you will delete this and go about my day.

Thank you for reading.
