Being a part of the Deaf ripple

well, it's my first week at my new job. it has been an interesting experience so far. 3 days a week, i work with kindergartern and 2 days a week, i take over english class with jrhs and hs. finally, i get to taste what it is like to work at a school setting, especially with deaf kids. i am still getting to know to my students from both catagories, elementary and secondary. gotta learn their tendencies fast so i can prevent it from happening again. it is trying, though. you know, i'm the new faculty and they are anxious to play with me. standard intitation, i guess. right?

today, i got to have the chance to say my thanks to greg hlibok for what he had done for the deaf community. my boss was showing him around at our school. tonight, they had a speech to present at phoenix college regarding dpn's truimph. i could not go because if i did, i would arrive back home at like 12am. so, forget it. some another time will do.

i was glad to have greg hlibok in "my" classroom at that moment instead of having to wait for my chance in another 12 years or so to formally chat with him briefly. now, i can check that off from my list of "important things to do before i die".
