TRANSCRIPTION BELOW:
VANCE YOUNGS (ERNEST C. DRURY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): I have vivid memories at my Deaf school. They had some kind of festival for the Deaf children or ASL Literature week. Students would get in the front of camera and sign stories. I always became excited whenever I signed in the camera. I received numerous awards which gave me the confidence to become a TV host today. I thank my Deaf school dearly.
MARI KLASSEN (BRITISH COLUMBIA SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): Everyone in my family is hearing and can sign, but my Deaf school is where I always felt at home.
WAYNE BETTS JR. (AMERICAN SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): Reflecting my middle school days, I have always wanted to make movies. I borrowed my friend's small video camcorder and asked a dorm counselor for his permission to shoot on campus. He gave me his blessing as long as I could finish it in 2 to 3 days. I used my creative juices and shot lots of scenes. I tried my best at editing then everyone from the whole school came to watch my movie. It was the key to my inspiration. Signing made it possible for me to communicate my vision.
SERICIA JACKERSON (TEXAS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): I was fine while attending a mainstreaming school all my life until I transferred to a Deaf school. My confidence in creativity and social skills truly soared. I used to be timid and somewhat stoic when signing, but I now become more expressive and creative such as ABC stories and sign play.
CAMILLE JETER-LORELLO (MICHIGAN SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): When I attended a Deaf school, I was assigned to read Edgar Allen Poe's work in English class. I had difficulty understanding "The Raven," but I had a Deaf teacher who was also fluent in ASL. I understood the story completely and learned English with ease.
JASON GUNDERSON (MARYLAND SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): While I was growing up, I always played sports league with hearing kids. However, they always made me feel inferior. That was until I entered a Deaf school, I finally saw things in a different light. The coaches signed his plays and strategies directly with the players. With communication, there is a clear system. Thanks to my Deaf school.
JODI OATES (TEXAS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): I always have been shy all my life, but Theatre Arts at my Deaf school helped me build my confidence and overcome my stage fright.
REBECCA LOVITCH (MODEL SECONDARY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): I attended a public school with lots of interpreters. Once in a while, the interpreter would miss and there was no one else to interpret. So, I would have to take over and interpret for my Deaf classmates. I transferred to a Deaf school and the experience was so different. Interpreters were not needed and I finally felt like a student without anyone else depending on me. I finally felt free.
FELICIA WILLIAMS (NEW JERSEY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF) Looking back, I met a person named, "Kim Arrigo," a Deaf teacher who introduced me to Deaf culture and ASL. Her expressions were so powerful and I became more inspired to communicate more freely in my language.
JOSHUA BECKMAN (NEW JERSEY SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF): You watched all those people's stories, right? I attended a Deaf school, too. Am I the last one?
Thank you for the captions/voiceover. I am beginning to learn ASL and seeing the same ideas in three different ways is really informative. And YES! Deaf schools are SO important!! Wonderful stories in the video. I think every Deaf person should have the opportunity to attend a Deaf school.
Hello! My friend and I are hearing but we have a passion for ASL! We are trying to learn more!!! I LOVE ASL and I loved listening to these stories in this video!
I think the word "Homes" ( 3:20 ) refers to the deaf schools, because that's what they see them as( 0:26 ).
My daughter is deaf and I feel there isn't enough deaf schools NOW! The deaf school here in Texas is maybe 3 to 4 hours away and I just cannot send her away. She's in a public school which she absolutely loves and I want her to grow up and know the real world because she will be around a lot of hearing people. But I would definitely send her to a deaf school if they had more of them, closer to home.
Marisol Davalos Does your daughter hear well with hearing aids
Maybe you could talk to the deaf school about summer camp programs and try to find deaf events in your area to bring your daughter too. Even if it's a mostly adult deaf coffee night people will respect you for trying to involve your daughter in the Deaf community
She has a cochlear implant that she's been wearing since 2011 and she hears well, but is going thru the process of learning everything and going to speech therapy. The cochlear was her choice and she loves it, I will definitely look into more things to get my daughter involved with the deaf community... she only knows about school and there is no one else in my family that's deaf so it is very difficult for her to even just hang out and do things with them... kind of like they're intimidated by her being deaf??? Not sure if u understand that.... but thank you. I will start my search.

ASLized! Hhi
Beautiful video!
WAY WAY WAY COOL! Fantastic job doing all this!!!
Awesome!! Also Texas School for the Deaf is my school ;)
Thank you to my professor at the University of FL for assigning watching this for our ASL 2 class. I will share this and the importance of maintaining residential schools across our nation (and in other countries where they have been established, too.)
Love it! Gotta share that with my students!
Powerful Message!!! Well done! :)
you're good asl language deaf!!
here from in USA american school for the deaf
at the ending of video gave me the chill feeling... it true.
Proud of class 2011 @ MSAD
I am glad you add captions especially for hearing parents as well as general hearing public. The set up captions is a bit weird and not in the standard how we Deaf and hard of hearing people read. Can you make it better?
Impressive!!!!
Powerful
They shut down the deaf school in nc and it very sad
this is awesome ! :D the guy at 0.48 kinda make me uncomfortable with his expressions though...it didn't match what he was saying, i got confused.
His expression was indicating that he was working frantically because he was only given a couple of days.

Hi I am. an interpreter for the deaf in Buchanan - South of Liberia struggling to teach some deaf kids. How can i get some material support for my voluntary work. Over here education for people with disability are left with charity.
Any suggestion?
Jackson in Liberia
Hello Jackson. Thank you for reaching out. Try to get in touch with World Federation of the Deaf (wfdeaf.org/). By the way, what kind of materials are you looking for?
Thanks for the response. I am looking for technical support in the form of receiving volunteer teachers to help improve the young school standard. Materials such as special number books, sign spelling book, visual aids (DVD players and disks of primary educational importance), and cash to enable us construct school facility. There are more kids far and near Buchanan where we run the school wishing to be in school but accommodation is a hindrance for them since I have nowhere to host students. Right now, the school is squatting on a church property. You you can see lack of support has caused to offline for months. This is why I am replying to your email late.
The only financial assistance i get comes from an American friend, Mr. Richard Johnson in the United States. With his help, i have ben able to bring in to volunteers teacher, and now in the process of legalizing the entity by next week before getting to organizations like the World Federation of the Deaf.
Thank you so much and you may please ask anything.

Hello! Why don't you get in touch with Gallaudet University's Education and/or International Studies program and see if you both can develop an internship? Some students will love the opportunity to teach abroad and develop materials with you and your team. Keep in mind, it is best to have native signers on your team (from your home country and s/he co-lead with you on this project as well). Kind regards, Elsie Stecker
Hello Sourde beaucoup the regarde toute
You don't realize it's not just you who's homes are disappearing. This matter is happening EVERY WHERE in this country!!! Just FYI
Inclusion isn't always the best environment. IMO it'd be better, if they want Deaf kids and hearing kids learning side by side, to have schools that are like 50-50 Deaf/hearing instead of having one Deaf kid in a class full of hearing kids.
