I know, I know..it has been too long.

I must admit that I have forgotten about this blog for a while. For the past few days, I have been looking up on deafread.com to catch up on some current news. I realized that I haven’t made a post in almost a year, so I have decided to make a short one. Also, because I’m home sick as well, heh.

The Master’s Program is going pretty well. I’m currently on internship at St. Mary’s School for the Deaf in Buffalo, New York. It has been a great experience so far. I have about a week and four days left then I have to attend a four-day seminar to listen to others’  presentations and I also have to give one myself.

I work with students in 9th to 12th, along with one special class of 7th graders. The students are wonderful and they have been patient with me throughout the months. I am very grateful to them. (If one of you guys read this, thank you! =)..)

This experience have made me realize a lot of things – especially in the field of deaf education. Before, I wasn’t too keen on deaf education and its politics. I’m not a huge fan of politics, but after encountering some experiences at the school and through the program, I realized that being involved in deaf education and its politics would make me a better teacher. Even though I’m still on the fence about becoming a teacher, I know for sure that I definitely do want to have a place in deaf education, regardless of my occupation (whatever that is..)

I’m not a quitter – so I will be continuing the program. Hopefully, something will come to me to help determine my future throughout the rest of the program. Anyways, I know this post probably did not have a huge point, but I have been thinking for a while.  Do you guys know of any wonderful online magazines/or newspapers that I could work at? It doesn’t have to be paid, but just something I could do and help contribute/spread out information to the deaf community. I realize that to become active in the deaf community, I have to start pretty soon.
