I grew up in the hearing world and partly deaf world, since I am deaf myself. I was raised to be successful in what I do. I was raised in a positive environment where people encouraged me to work hard to attain my goals. They would force me to use my voice so that others could understand me. I got my first job and realized how important it is to use my voice. The more I used it the more people could understand me. People who are unfamiliar with my voice will eventually understand it. In addition, there are many ways to communicate.

I graduated from National Technical Institute for the Deaf in 2005 with my Associate of Science degree in Business Technology. I am familiar with MS Word, MS Excel, MS PowerPoint, and MS Outlook. I know how to use some applications of MS Access, but not all of it. I may remember how to do a few works from that program.

I am currently enrolled at Johnson County Community College pursuing my Early Childhood Education Associate of Science degree. I will be graduating this December 2008 after completing my five months of student teaching.

Before I entered college in 2001, I have worked at three different daycares and then during college I have worked for two families by taking care of their children ranging from 4 months old to 5 years old. I am currently working with a family who has children ages 8 and 9. When I work at the day care or with individual children I enjoy teaching the children sign language, how to cook, and how to show respect to others. I enjoy doing many things with them.

My teaching experience has been terrific. The children seem to enjoy being around me and I really love working with kids. Everyday they are ready for me to prepare their day. Seeing them smiling, laughing, and enjoying their day shows me that I am being successful.

I am a good listener. I like to listen to what they need help on and always do my best to help them out. If one method doesn't work out, then I would keep trying by using different kinds of methods until they get it. I want for them to be successful and attain their future goals.

• general computer

  I learned how to use computer when I was in sixth grade and it is not hard for me to use. I am comfortable with my computer skills after I took more courses in college. I know a lot about all field in Microsoft field such as word, PowerPoint, excel, and outlook. I have a limited experience with access field. When I was in college, I took a lot of classes that focuses a lot on all field in Microsoft and I feel that I am able to tutor for these who needs help in these field.

• sign language

  My experience with sign language is highly important because there are many hearing parents who are raising a deaf child today, I feel my background and experience with sign language can be very useful. Many of the parents are frustrated and saddened because they can't communicate with their own children. My heart goes out to them because as a deaf person I know the frustration they must feel. I have taught sigh language to many people and feel comfortable using resources such as books, videos, and visual aids to help in their understanding. There are not many deaf people who use their voices around others, but I'm comfortable using mine when I'm demonstrating sign language. I enjoy teaching sign language and hope that my efforts would help others communicate with members of the deaf world.

• swimming

  I was about 1 years old when my father taught me how to swim. He made sure I knew how to use all parts of body and be able to swim with. It is why I don’t have any fear toward the water. It is very important for me to know how to swim so that I can teach my children in the future. I was born and grew up in New Jersey for a short period of time before I moved to Kansas, I am fortunate to be able to swim in the ocean. It is most challenge than swim in the pool. I would learn how to swim in the pool first before I go into the ocean. It makes people become a strong swimmer. From my experience I feel I am qualified to teach anyone to swim. I am currently teaching my niece how to swim and she is learning. If I can teach her then I can teach others, as well.
