"Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." ~ Robert Frost
I grew up being the only deaf child in the family, attended North Carolina School for the Deaf. I chose to come to Cal State Northridge because I felt that was the tougher road for me. I enjoy challenges, which is why the quote fits who I am. It's true that the road I took has made the difference for me because I am now graduating at the end of the semester with BA in Psychology and I have found a woman that I will be spending the rest of my life with. Our wedding will take place in summer of 2007 and that is something I am looking forward to the most. |

"I think that I'll try defying gravity...and you can't pull me down!" ~ Wicked
An aspiring writer and actress from Chicago, I enjoy writing novels (and hopefully publish a few) reading, playing the guitar and I absolutely adore musical theater. I would like to thank my parents for everything, and I am grateful for my cochlear implant which gave me the opportunity to hear music and the amazing voices of my role models: Julie Andrews, and Idina Menzel. |

I am an exchange student from the University of Nevada, Reno. My goal is to become an interpreter, however, UNR has very limited resources for that field. I chose to come to CSUN for their Deaf Studies program, so that I will be better prepared to aid in the progression of Deaf services at home. |
