Joseph's Story
Life
Hey there,
Well, where to start? I gradated from Hughes High School at Cincinnati, OH in 1997 and headed straight to Miami University of Ohio. I majored in Systems Analysis and stayed at Miami for four and half years. Originally, I didn't plan on going to graduate school but as my college graduation came closer and closer, I wasn't ready for the working world. I felt there was more to see and more to learn. More importantly, I wanted to learn more about myself and be comfortable in my own skin.
So there was one university I wanted to go, Gallaudet University. It is the only university in the world that serves deaf and hard of hearing students. There are hearing students there too. Nearly everyone knows how to sign. So ...Expand for more
I applied for linguistics graduate program at Gallaudet and I got accepted. Originally, I planned to get the master's only but someone in the department told me that if I keep going into PhD program, I would have financial support for school. I didn't have any plan after my master's so at that time, Ph.D program seemed to be a logical choice. But if I knew what I know now, I would stay with the master's and then take a break for a few years. Ph.D program takes a lot out of you.
But still, I am glad to be here in Washington DC at Gallaudet University as a doctoral student because I have learned a lot about myself and there are still more to come, plus I am more comfortable in my own skin. So I feel I am in the right direction.
