Hey Guys - Deaf Gay here

[Hisakiwa21]

Hey guys,

I'm John, nearing 21 in a month, gay, and I was here before like three years ago, now I'm back and umm... I'm a senior at a deaf university (yes, I'm deaf), in the capital and I'm spending my summer vacation here in New England (likely to be my last summer if possible)

Umm... I planned to be a high school history teacher in deaf schools, I like sports and watching sports. I have my picture below, so guess what which team I'm a truly hard-core fan for lol

So... I hope I will enjoy my stay here and maybe stay here longer than what I did three years ago!

John

Hey, welcome to JUB!

Hi and welcome! Gallaudet Class of 1980 graduate here!

 

[Hisakiwa21]

Horschallen, serious? Soon I will be Class of 2012... if I can get it within four years lol

 

[Horschallen]

No kidding!I majored in Art History back then and did a year internship at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (modern art division at Smithsonian Institute). Grad school at RIT/NTID at a later time.

Good luck with your last year at Gallaudet.

 

[Hisakiwa21]

Wow... I'm a world history major so I planned to graduate with a B.A. degree in history then move to the Midwest to get a job in historical research or data entry to save up money then go back to graduate school to get a M.A. degree in Deaf Education then I can try my hand in teaching high school history.

Thanks, the senior year should be interesting because I'm applying to join a Eastern European history class in Georgetown University.

The consortium program in DC is great. I took a course at GWU back in 1977 or 1978. If I remember correctly, Gallaudet was one of the three universities involved in this consortium and the last time I checked, there are many more universities participating in the consortium program.

Hope you get the opportunity to take the course at GT Univ.

 

[Hisakiwa21]

Yeah, thanks for your well-wishes!

I think there are 13 Universities in the consortium program now...

 

[Horschallen]

I w
as thinking 18 in the consortium. Maybe you are right. Still a great program and great opportunity to broaden one's horizon!

Do stay in touch and good luck this summer, too.

 

[Hisakiwa21]

Thanks, Horschallen

I hope you enjoy your summer too!

 

[Horschallen]

I work year round, Grin. Thank you and take care.
