Hockey Scholar has positively impacted my life in ways like getting me more excited and aware of scientific, mathematic, and engineering needs in the real world that are all around me now AND WILL BE in the future. Also, this program has changed my attitude toward science by associating some of the hardest concepts for me to understand with something that I can easily understand, and now I appreciate science much more. Likewise, Hockey Scholar has changed my attitude toward engineering and math. Now, in the future, my change in attitude toward STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) will help my future in my career, which is American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, by giving me proper signing technique, overall knowledge of math,

Because this program has changed my awareness of science, I will now inquire and seek to find the proper signing technique to avoid the condition called carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This condition is widespread in the interpreting and deaf world; it’s my worst nightmare. Carpal tunnel syndrome is associated with tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain in the hand or fingers. Thus, CTS would be highly detrimental to my performance as an interpreter, though it’s treatment is fairly easy. All that aside, Hockey Scholar has changed my attitude toward science, and that significant change will help me use proper signing technique to more efficiently perform as an …show more content…
This module was a big step in the direction of being more knowledgeable about math and engineering. As of now, these newly increased skills will help me complete my high school and even college “career.” For instance, many mathematical concepts taught in the Hockey Scholar module (such as finding the average, etc.) are used beyond the two algebras and all the way into calculus itself. This simple math skill, including the four basic operations, are essential to life even beyond college. To exemplify the correlation between math and engineering and my future ASL interpreting, interpreting for American ‘deafs,’ as they’re called, requires a broad range of academia recognition so I can more adequately interpret the topics being talked about between the deaf and hearing. For example, if an interpreter were interpreting a conversation between a deaf intern scientist and his hearing friend about the latest science experiment, the interpreter could interpret the conversation better if the interpreter knew of the topics being talked about. If that were so, the understanding between the scientist and his friend would increase to at least an acceptable
