Future Aims & Goals: My goal is plan to go to college to be a teacher and a model. I'm thinking about going to JCCC (Johnson Country Community College), SWCID, or Gallaudet University, I'm not sure. Everyone is telling me that I should be a model so I'm thinking about that, and I want to start working on it right now!

Your Advice to the Deaf Community: Oh hey, just don't let people put you down, just to be proud of yourself! It's really fun to meet a lot of deaf people and making a lot of friends! You guys can do anything what you want to do, just feel free! I know hearing people think deaf people must be dumb and can't do anything but, hey, they must be DUMB because they it's not true! So anyways, just be yourself and show everyone what you want to do to make you PROUD! That's an important part of your life!! Good luck!!!
