Lead: Imagine a girl who can’t not hear, trying to learn ways to communicate. For the first time. Imagine: a family able to talk to their deaf son. This is what sign language can do. This is what I __wanted__ to learn for my G.P.S project but I didn’t because I didn’t make the time to meet with my mentor.

In the beginning of when we started to talk about what we wanted to do for our G.P.S project, I wanted to volunteer at the Gastineau Humane Society, but they never answered the phones, and my add gets off of work at 5 o’clock and they close at that time & my weekends are really busy. So I decided to do sign language because I have a cousin who is deaf

Nothing kept me from finishing the project I just didn’t want to be there, I would rather hang out with my friends/ grandparents after school, I would of told my teacher that I didn’t want to do my project. I realize this is supposed to show I am ready for adulthood but I didn’t do my project.

I wish I could of chose a different project, where I could chose my own mentor, that would help me succeed was if I got a different mentor/project, I could of finished if I would have met up with her.

I learned that I don’t like sign language, my work habits is that I need a friend with me.

My mentor was Ms.Kissel and it didn’t work out because I never talked to her about meeting & I never really wanted to meet with her. I felt like her teaching style- to dance around was embarrassing. She never reminded to do this project, and so I didn’t do it.

I don’t think I need the G.P.S to be ready for adulthood; I have some stuff outside of school that can help me with that.

So imagine a girl who can’t not hear, trying to learn ways to communicate. For the first time. Imagine: a family able to talk to their deaf son. This is what sign language can do. This is what I __wanted__ to learn for my G.P.S project but I didn’t because I didn’t make the time to meet with my mentor.
