I regret not going to concerts at Klipsch Music Center or just going to concerts in general. I regret not having as many animals as I wanted. I regret a lot of things but most importantly the things I regret happened in the past and I have to move on and only look for the future and never dwell on anything in the past. Regretting something is something that you should never do because if you regret something can make you feel so bad about yourself. I do regret a lot of things but I will say some things that I do not regret. I do not regret being friends with Sarah Aleshire from kindergarten and it is still going on today. This is the longest friendship that I have ever had, she helps me through everything. I am excited to graduate with her and still be able to call her my best friend. I do not regret coming to Anderson High School instead of going to Noblesville like everyone said I should have done when I moved to Noblesville. I do not regret rescuing my dog, Jimmie, he is a great dog even though he can be a pain in the rear sometimes.

    Project Nim: Language Skills In American Sign Language

    Project Nim is a movie documenting the research project conducted by Herbert Terrace, a professor of psychology at Columbia University. The research project was established to determine whether a chimpanzee raised by humans from infancy, like a human child would be, could develop language skills in American Sign Language. He believed that if chimpanzees could be taught how to articulate what they were thinking about, it would be an incredible expansion of human communication and possibly give insight as to how language evolved. This was the main motivation to start Project Nim. Mr. Terrace implemented various learning settings with multiple teachers.…

    Key Moment In My Educational Experience

    I second guessed myself on everything and was never sure of myself. This made me think that my grades in my other classes were not based on my intelligence, but on my completion of the work. My love of school disappeared. This small incident still hurts even today. The events which happen to us as children can have lasting impact throughout our lives.…

    Personal Narrative: How High School Changed My Life

    These have been such memorable years to me that I will never forget as I grow. I wouldn’t change my experience for anything because I’ve learned and grown so much in the few years I’ve been in high school. In the beginning I thought high school wasn’t an important part of my life. I was just focused on football and goofing off.…

    American Sign Language Case Study

    The American Sign Language (ASL) Club made its debut at Ramapo College educating the community during an event associated with Disability Awareness Month. “We believe in more than fighting the stigma. We want to push for equality and respect,” said junior Kira Abrams, president of ASL Club. “We hope to achieve an environment where disability is seen as a different and equally valid way of navigating the world, where a person who requires some accommodations to do well in an environment structured specifically for the typical type of person is just as worthy of respect and is not lesser for getting necessary help to achieve equality.” To achieve this vision of equality, educating society about deaf culture and its significance to members…

    Classroom Culture Study: American Sign Language, Anatomy And Physiology

    The Classroom Culture study involved studying, collecting, and analyzing the information, which was provided by the different classrooms and each of their environments. In order to begin the Classroom Culture study one must start by gathering information. One gathers the information by taking note of where the students sit in the classroom. Also, one should take notice whether the professor uses helpful modules to instruct and what style of teaching the professor uses. One should also observe whether or not students feel comfortable in the class, because this might affect whether or not students are successful in the course.…

    Finding American Sign Language

    I find American Sign Language very interesting because it is a completely different language and culture to learn about. I also find this topic interesting because of what people said about Deaf people and how sign language isn’t a real language in earlier years. Deaf people who people see them as “handicapped” and people that aren’t “normal”. American Sign Language is a way of communication between a culture, just like Spanish, German, French, Chinese, and Swahili are real languages. The reason I bring up these languages is that if they are real languages, those that speak it may have or be an interpreter; if English-speaking people are talking with someone of a different language by them, it is rude to not include them in the conversation.…

    Personal Narrative: My American Sign Language

    A couple months ago, I was confronted with the project of mastering an ability, whether it be starting from the beginning, or improving. Obviously it would take up a lot of time, so I wanted my ability to be something useful to me that I can use in my everyday life. I have always wanted to become fluent in a language, causing my influence to choose to improve my American Sign Language. At the beginning of this project, I was only a mere beginner at signing, but wanted to expand my knowledge, vocabulary, and general understanding of the language, pushing myself to increase my fluency. Through this process, I faced more challenges in learning this language than I expected to, but accomplished all of my goals, and feel much more confident in my…

    Personal Narrative: American Sign Language

    I can not tell exactly where I will be in five years. I can only aspire and hold my breath to say I will be well versed in the deaf community. Somewhere, whether that be a hospital, school, court room, or church, assisting deaf people to access their world. When I was in sixth grade I attended vacation bible school at my grandmothers’ church, were they taught motions with your hands to every song. I loved that concept, every time I got the chance I would sign the motions over and over.…
