My dream is to become a Deaf Historical Teacher at a Deaf school to teach future kids about broad histories and how previous events influence the future. Historical deaf educators who impacted the deaf community also motivate my objective. Several main deaf histories and work goals:

1) Awareness and Education: my goal is to grow awareness about the contributions of historical deaf educators, such as Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc, who were well-known as the first to support Deaf Education. I hope to encourage a greater appreciation and understanding of the history of Deaf education and the Deaf community.

2) Advocates Deaf Education: most of the key goals are to support and invest in educational opportunities for deaf students and include advocating for the use of American Sign Language (ASL) in classrooms, bilingual education, and ensuring that deaf students have access to the resources they need to succeed and satisfy.

What makes me an outstanding candidate for this? My primary goals are in perfect alignment with the purpose of this scholarship, which is to position me as a the leader in the realm of deaf education. To achieve this, I intend to employ ASL and other accessible communication methods, advocate for policy reforms, and develop novel methods of instruction. I am convinced that this scholarship would award me the opportunity to make an important contribution to the field while also providing the necessary advocacy and resources to accomplish these objectives.
