I absolutely loved Stephen Hinshaw’s essay “ What Is The Triple Blind” and I couldn’t agree with it more. He made extremely strong points that boys and girls need to be educated on. Especially students in grades 9-12‚ which seem to be the hardest for all gender’s.

"What is on the minds of America’s youth today?" was the prompt for an essay contest. The top of the page hosted two images; one of the youth of 1968 protesting racism‚ and one of teenagers on Spring Break in 2004.

See What I’m Saying Paper I loved the film See What I’m Saying; it was filled with new insights about deaf culture and people. This movie follows the life of TL Forsber‚ singer; Bob Hiltermann‚ drummer; Robert DeMayo‚ actor; and CJ Jones‚ A Deaf Icon. Once I got home from school‚ I quickly checked Netflix to see if Netflix carries it. My hopes were crushed. There were not many things about the film I did not like‚ are how hearing people treated deaf people and what troubles follow four deaf
