HINSDALE SOUTH DEAF & HARD OF HEARING DEPARTMENT
JUSTICE, ILL 

I was discovered hearing impaired when I was 3½ years old.  I went to school with special programs for my needs.  I loved learning and meeting other kids with same needs. I found passion for arts and music as I got older.  I also became really close with my families and friends.  As I entered high school, I went through a lot of things such as finding bigger passion for arts, meeting new friends, my siblings getting their own families, becoming an aunt, also very involved with school activities such as drama, Academic Bowl, Jr. NAD, and Arts Honor Society.  One of the biggest impact was sending my father to God in December of 2004. Because of my father, he made me a stronger person.  I do hope to make a mark into the world today or in my family generation.

 

Probable college choice:  Rochester Institute of Technology
