300 word essay

Hi my name is MJordan23, so far at Gallaudet University has been really a blast for me. Getting to meet new people that I have never seen or talked to before, starting to learn american sign language to be able to communicate to the people that are deaf and heard of hearing is really fun. I dont know a lot of sign right now, but everyday I have been improving by learning a bunch of new signs everyday by either the teachers helping me or my friends. I wanted to come here because since im heard of hearing, I wanted to learn about the deaf culture. My home is in Maine where it is a lovely place, a lot of nature and things to see. The fall is my favorite season in Maine when it turns beautiful, where all the leafs turn brown, orange, yellow and more also thats when it gets a little cooler in temperature. The things that I loved doing while I was at home was to go hunting and fishing with my Dad, brothers and friends. I loved going four-wheeling, snomobiling, jet-skiing. When it came to winter I loved to go skiing to Sugarloaft Mountain, the biggest skiing resort in the entire north and east coast. In high school I played three different sports for all 4 years. I played football, basketball and baseball. Now in college I only play 1 sport which is baseball because I think ill go furthest in this sport, another reason is I just had surgery on my knee so it would be hard for me to play basketball or football with the injury. Now at Gallaudet I cant do much of those things anymore, like what I did in Maine because I have never been to this place before and I am now just starting to pick up the things that I can do here. Cant really do much because its not like Maine where here its a huge city and Maine is all woods, lakes and mountains.
I really am starting to like Gallaudet because the people here are really nice to meet with and there are a lot of things to see here especially for me because I have never really left down to the south.

  1. I'm glad you like it here, it's a lot different than the woods of Maine!

    And there are woods and hills here too, you just have to go to Virginia, remember Inner-quest? I'm very sure you can find four wheeling and such if you look hard enough.
