Hi!
My name is Laura, and this year is my second year majoring in Psychology at World Campus. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two kids (3 months old and 4 years old). My oldest will start pre-kindergarten next week. I have a great husband who’s supporting me to continue my education at Penn State World Campus. I have a big dream to be a therapist with Deaf children and hearing parents/family. I was born Deaf with hearing parents. My sister and I were the only Deaf in the family. My parents got the right resources for my sister and me to be part of the Deaf community. When I was growing up, I’ve seen some peers’ parents couldn’t communicate with their children because they didn’t learn how to sign and communicate with Deaf children. After seeing peers’ negative experiences without communication at home, I would love to be a therapist and provide the best resource for the family with Deaf children.
I am looking forward to learning something new from this course.
Hi Laura!
So nice to e-meet you. It seems like you have some amazing parents which would make you a great mother also. And a good supporting spouse to help you fulfill your dream of becoming a therapist. This course should be of help as you learn to apply psychological theories and concepts in intercultural and global contexts…
I look forward to your contributions in our class.
All the best!
