Natalia Jurgenson and I have had the opportunity to interview some teachers and students from each elective to give you a better idea of what all of our high school students are up to during four class periods each week. These responses might encourage you to sign up for a certain elective next year, or you might realize that a specific elective might not be for you.

I didn\u2019t know exactly what I would do, but it wasn\u2019t long before I met a deaf person who had been isolated in her home all her life. She was already mid twenties, she didn\u2019t have any form of communication, and she was like Helen Keller, but she could see. When I met her, I knew that the Lord had put a purpose for what I was going to be doing and that was working with the deaf. So, I began working with her and I didn\u2019t know sign language at the time, but I hired a tutor which took me about a year to find a person who knew sign language that could teach her. The person that I found to teach her was a former student of mine, who had graduated and went to the deaf school to learn sign language. So Raquel [the tutor] started to teach her and helped her work through her anxiety that came from being stuck at home her entire life. She was able to learn basic sign language and joined the school for the deaf which is Isaiah 29:18 Christian School. That was where she learned sign language and basic schooling and where I learned sign language as well with their Saturday program. Now, that same lady helps teach sign language to people like her. Through that whole experience, I became closely connected to the school for the deaf and realized how exclusive it is for the deaf because not many people know sign language. So, I had a burden on my heart to grow the community for the deaf so that they could have more people to include, to spend time with, to communicate with, and to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>-What is your main goal for your students to achieve?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat they will learn sign language and be a greater, broader community for the deaf to interact with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>-What kind of students would you recommend your elective to?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn order to take the sign language class you just have to have the desire to spend time with people who are deaf. You have to have a love for all people, people that are different, people that may not have a voice to speak, but can communicate through sign language. So basically it\u2019s a heart position, one that loves and accepts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cynthia Sandahl-&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>-What was your motive for taking this elective?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI took it because I think sign language is something that many people should learn because it&#8217;s still people and many disabled people who are deaf or mute need sign language to be able to communicate but many people don\u2019t take the time to learn sign language which is something that can be easily learned compared to another language and I feel like learning sign language can help them have a bigger community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>-What have you learned so far?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot of basic signs but it\u2019s really hard to remember all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>-What is your favorite and least favorite part of your elective?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI love being able to go to the deaf school and just interacting with different people- people who are either just interpreters and learning sign language or deaf people who require the language- and see how they\u2019re taught and just hanging out with them. I really don\u2019t like how fast we\u2019re going through the sign language dictionary. It\u2019s a lot to process even though it\u2019s relatively easy to learn, it&#8217;s still a lot to process because you have to memorize all the signs and just slight differences can change what you\u2019re saying.
