About Me

Actually I dyed my hair more than ten times this year. Everybody at home always say, “Oh, that’s so Jessy.” I love to dye colors on my hair because I think the way of showing the colors on me is a way to show your true self. Usually, I will wear no matched clothes or too vibrant clothes; I wear those clothes because it describes me. Everybody called me a free-spirited girl, I own my life in a balance which I can work so hard and enjoy the surroundings around me at same time. I am a movie freak, I own over 500 movies, in fact, I do buy a movie like every week. Movies are my life because it’s a visual thing, being a deaf person and seeing is the main thing in my life.
I am very laidback girl, the girl who sit way over there in the corner. I am a observer, I love to reveal every person’s personality, their strongest and weakest talents. I am not surprised if I don’t really talk that much during the class and I talk too much during lunch or at a party. I would show myself to everybody but my inner personality to a person who I know a lot. I am a shy person but at the end, I am not shy. I can be shy at days, other I will be hyper and talkative. It is all about my mood every day.
Here I am in Gallaudet University, what did make me to come here, the deaf atmosphere. I grew up in a huge deaf family, I went to Kansas School for the Deaf until I was eleven years old, my parents decided to get a divorce so we moved to Illinois and I went to Illinois School for the Deaf. When my parents found out that the education from I.S.D. was too easy for me. So my dad and I moved to St. Louis, Missouri and I went to a mainstreamed school from tenth grade to last spring which and I graduated with honors and being only youngest graduate, I was sixteen years old. I went to a mainstreamed school for three years, I survived from dreary interpreters and hearing students with no idea about deafness. They thought a deaf person is a mentally retarded. Here I am in your class, I am so ready to learn about this class’s approach of G.S.R. 102.

  2. Orca,
    You sound like a gal who is ready to learn about flouting rules and conventions. I like that! You've had a lot of transitions recently so my advice to you is hold steady, learn as much as you can, focus on school, and give all you do 100%. This post is just right...quite wordy and meaty at over 400 words. Thanks,
    Dr. W.

  3. I wish I could have seen that side of you last summer.

    I guess we have the next year or two to make up for it, eh?
