This story is about Margie English who was born deaf with deaf parents. Her parents decided to send her to oral school to be closer to her family. Margie wasnt very happy at oral school. Her school doesnt allowed her to use sign language. Her parents realized it was a mistake. They decided to move and sent her to Kendall School which is in same campus as Gallaudet University. She loved it. She learn alot of vocabulary. Her great impact when she was in school when her friend read a book. Her friends told her that she CAN read. She graduated at Model Secondary school for the deaf. She also graduated at Gallaudet university with English Bachelor's degree.
I cannot said I feel the same way she felt. I never been to mainstream school. I went Missouri School for the Deaf til I graduated. Although, I went Linn State Technology College. They provide interpreter. Getting educations from teacher with interpreter is not the same as teacher that teaches directly. As of right now I attend Gallaudet University, I feel I get better educations with teacher directly. American Sign Language will always be mine native language. English is my second language, I'll always learn how to write English. English is a bit diffcult for me. I'll always learn how to write English.

That is true. English is the most difficult language for all people. Nobody is perfect but we need to train how to read and write. Practice makes perfect!
First of all, I completely am in your shoe. America Sign Language is my first native language. I am not great at English. For all of my life, I learned how to write in right form of English. So far, I think I am doing it pretty well. :) I think you do too. About the hearing community college, I agree with you. I have the similar experience. I really hate to have an interpreter sitting in front of me to interpret what the professor lectured. It is so lame. I realized that I am home. I know that Margie feel the same thing in her way.
It seems like you relate to English's last sentence in her essay.
