Module Journal entry 2

Module 2 Journal My goal after I graduate from Grand Canyon University is to be a teacher at Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB). I was a student at that school until I graduated in 1999. The whole time I was there, there was not a moment where I did not enjoy myself. I was always interacting with my classmates and teachers.

My other short-term goals are to keep up with my participation in class every day and maintain at least 4 days a week interacting with my fellow classmates.

Without it, I see no hope for brighter future. That is why it is important that I complete my education and graduate with a bachelor’s degree. For almost 10 years I have been working in a boarding
