Hey!
I'm Danielle Scoggin and I am majoring in American Sign Language and English Interpreting and will be applying of the program in the Spring! I am going on my third year here at Eastern Kentucky and I have loved every semester that I have been here. I am from Leesburg, Virginia and the reason that I am out here in Kentucky is because of my major, no school in Virginia had it as a major, they only had it as a minor so I was limited to a select number of schools and I picked this one.
The reason I picked to go into ASL is because I took in my sophomore, junior, and senior year in high school with a deaf teacher and since the first day of those classes I just fell in love with everything about it. To me it just came so natural, I enjoyed going to that class and learning more every day. My junior year in high school is when I looked at my dad and said I found something I can see myself doing as a career. He thought that it was an amazing fit for me, he said he could see me doing that as well and he was really happy for me because he could see how much I enjoyed it all.
I am taking this course in particular because it was a class that I could take for my major but didn't have to take it. I thought it sounded interesting and would help me learn more and go more into depth about things and help learn how to teach people which is my back up major incase I do not get into the interpreting program.
I am very excited for what this class has to offer and I can't wait to start learning and having a fun time!
Thanks for reading!
Welcome to Kentucky! Well, you've been here a while - but glad you left home and you were willing to come here to study your passion. Many of the chapters and ideas will be topics that you will be familiar with from other courses. The idea of course will be to challenge yourself to discover new information and perspectives. In what ways will your opinions, beliefs and what you currently understand grow and strengthen based on new learning? Do you have an open mind? How might new information allow you to consider a variety of perspectives? Is it possible that some of your ideas or opinions might change throughout the course of the semester?
