Hi my name is Chris I am 19 y.o attending a community college soon to transfer to one of the state colleges. I'm hearing and unfortunately I have had very little exposure to the deaf community. The only exposure I've had is that I have an uncle who is hard of hearing and although he does know how to sign he doesn't use it, his sister is deaf and she uses ASL very often although she first learned to be oral when she was a child. I have always wanted to learn sign language since I was younger but never really had an opportunity to and since now I am in college there are courses available to take. I know that as a hearing person I won't ever understand what its like to be deaf and apart of the Deaf community. Basically, I would like to be able to learn about the Deaf culture and meet some new friends and actually communicate with them in their native language.
