Description: Hi! Here's my first video blog! My name is Carolina. I'm from Miami, Florida but going to Gallaudet, a deaf university, in Washington DC right now. This video blog will be from a paper that I had to do last semester for my First Year Seminar. It's kind of an autobiographical piece. Now for those who don't know sign language, I don't speak word for word because that's rather boring. Okay. Let's start! I have done a lot of volunteering jobs through my years in middle and high school. But the experience that I had in my junior year of high school was kind of significant for me because it taught me a lot of things about myself and how the world works. I wrote an essay about how reading affected me for a kind of contest at the start of my sophomore year. And a few months later, I found out that I got accepted to be a Reading mentor for third graders to help them improve their reading skills and use them to pass the FCAT, a state-wide standardized test, and was invited to a training summit to learn how to teach, organize volunteers, work with administrators, how to set up workshops for new recruits, etc. in Orlando. It was a very interesting experience because I was the only deaf person there but everyone was accommodating and I really enjoyed that. So when I got back home, I had to start immediately to set up a program (like a club) at my high school so that meant that I had to work with administrators and finding an elementary school that would sponsor the program. It was a very frustrating progress because as school hadn't started yet, so I had to communicate by writing. It was a very slow progress. But in the end, I was successful to get the program set up. Now it was time to recruit student mentors and set a date for a training workshop for student mentors and make flyers. At the end of the year, I really noticed a vast improvement in the third graders' critical thinking and reading skills and their scores on the FCAT proved this. It really made me feel that I did make a difference in something and that children respond better to learning if there's young adults willing to help them to succeed. But it also made me realize that I did not want to teach elementary children. Of course, in the end, it was rewarding but at times, it was really frustrating because I really had no patience. It also helped me with my teamwork skills. It was really an excellent experience for me.I am the oldest of two by four years in my family. My younger brother's name is Daniel but we call him Danny. I am the only one who is deaf in my family. For a long time, we did not know why I was born deaf but when we found out that I had Usher's syndrome, then it was obvious that it was caused by genetics. My extended family is pretty large as my dad has nine brothers and sisters and all of them are or was married and have children. But the majority of Dad's side of family lives in Costa Rica. Of course, we see them once or three times a year but sometimes less because they visit us in Miami too. I am very close to my family. I got lucky to be in a family that's willing to learn things that they have to because of me. They all learned some form of sign language so they could be able to communicate with me. I love them for that. I'm most close to my mother. She's like my best friend yet she's my mother at the same time. We have a great relationship. I tell her everything and nothing, so far, and she's just really supportive and trusting. I'm really lucky to have her. You know, at first, I wasn't sure I wanted to go to Gallaudet because it would mean that I would be away from my family most months of the year and be homesick. But now, it's a month into the semester, I haven't felt any homesickness yet because my family made sure to stay in touch with me through email and even bought webcams so that we could see each other face-to-face. Of course, it's not the same as seeing them in person. But it does makes it feel more bearable until I am able to fly out and see them for a weekend a month. So even when I'm about two hours away by plane and about a day's drive away, I still am very connected to my family and I am very grateful for that. I wouldn't want to change this family for anything in the world. Thanks! See you all next time!
