Introduction.

Mine's a little late, but I accidentally deleted the email with instructions on how to get to the blog.
Anyways. I'm Fran Cooper. I'm a junior Deaf education major, with emphasis in elementary aged student, and I'm also an ASL minor. I am in this class as it is a requirement for my major and an option for my minor. The only time before I came to EKU for school that I ever communicated with a Deaf person was when I was a waitress, and a Deaf couple would come in about once a week. I always felt bad because I knew little sign and could only communicate with them with pen and paper. I think that is when my interest in the Deaf culture began. However, I didn't intend on doing much with it. I actually came to school for a political science degree and ended up making the drastic change to Deaf Ed. I've loved it so far and can't wait to progress through other classes and learn even more.
