Honestly, before I arrived, I was overwhelmed with schoolwork, but excited because I had never been to to Arizona. I was not sure what to expect. I had visited the Youth Leadership Camp twice during my experiences as NAD Miss Deaf America, and would the Jr. NAD Conference be similar or how would [...]

So, I’m adding photos of my summer as [...]

“You can get so confused
That you’ll start in to a race
Down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
And grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
Headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.â€
As your NAD Miss Deaf America, I have been traveling, representing the National Association of the Deaf during the summer. I [...]

“It’s a pretty good zoo,â€
Said young Gerald McGrew,
“And the fellow who runs it
Seems proud of it, too.â€

That’s just what I’d do…â€
-Dr. Seuss, “If I Ran The Zooâ€
Why am I thinking of a zoo? Especially a zoo from the Dr. Seuss’s book, If [...]
Salutations!
Posted on September 6th, 2007I arrived at Camp Taloali in Oregon on July 13. That’s right, Friday the 13th. Personally, I don’t believe the luck associated with Friday the 13th. However, I ordered a Starbucks drink at my connection airport at Salt Lake City. I ordered my typical: tall mocha frappcino. What did I get from my order? A [...]

What did Miss Deaf America hear, [...]

Things Have Not Slowed Down!
Posted on April 19th, 2007It certainly has not slowed down since I last posted in February. Spring break and Easter break came and went… and I am approaching the end of semester finals at Augustana College in two weeks!
In meantime, during Spring Break, I was asked by a friend to make an appearance as Miss Deaf America at her [...]
MDS and Ohio
Posted on February 11th, 2007Now, what can I say
When I get home today? (from Ohio?)
I swung ‘round the corner
And dashed through the gate,
I ran up the steps
And I felt simply GREAT!
FOR I HAD A STORY THAT NO ONE COULD BEAT
AND TO THINK THAT I SAW IT AT CINCINNATI, OHIO!
-And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street
I was [...]
