intended without hearing the voice to assist. My listening experience to this poem was interesting and to be honest a lot easier to get the tone and message because you have a voice guiding you and you can match the voice to what you think of the author and their views. The way the narrator spoke in a specific cadence brought out the theme a lot easier and more profound. Hearing the text(s) recited aloud was far better compared to a silent reading of it, because I did not have to think on my own…I was

system consists of the five main senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Each individual sense posses their own advantages and disadvantages, but all are crucial to a person’s survival.

After reading the article “Do Deaf People Have a Disability?” by Harlan Lane with my peers, I have educated myself further by understanding fully. Before I took American Sign Language, I didn’t even think about the Deaf community, much less if they were being oppressed or not.

The word disability is socially constructed, and that we should stop using it because putting labels on people

by comparing his experience to mine. First of all, Rogers mentions the importance of hearing someone and also to be heard by someone. With hearing he refers to the process of truly listening to someone and that is not just listening to the words but also to the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning and meaning below the conscious intent of the speaker.

That was my dream of success. What’s personal responsibility mean to you? I am sole responsibility for the decision in my life. I am responsible for what I choose to feel or think in my life. I am choosing the direction for your life. I cannot blame your parents for the choices I have made.

2013 Extra Credit #1 The article that I read is called “A hearing aid that cuts out all the clutter” by John Tierney. The most interesting in the article for me is the loop itself. I actually never heard of it until today. It amazes me what new technology can now do these days. I did not know that the loop could be installed in public places such as the airport.

performing a disservice to my clients. I remember hearing one of my clients’ experiences and hearing very much of my own story in those words. I was infused with fear and anxiety that it will trigger a past experience in me that I didn’t know how to deal with in order for me to be a better professional. I spent much of my time this semester thinking whether or not I appeared competent, rather than just genuinely being myself. I needed to be human and give myself a break. However, I realized that I will not
