Syntia's Story

My passion is learning new things.

Ever since I can remember, I've always had this passion in learning new things. One thing that caught my eye was a student who taught me how to say thank you in American Sign Language. It seemed really interesting to me that he could express himself with other actions and words, and that made me realize that there was a whole different world. I started researching different programs where anyone can learn to sign. However, the programs would have already passed or the programs were far away.

Attending Ithaca College would help me explore my passion at an extremely different level. Having one week where I can learn a language I have always wanted to learn in my life can really help me in the future when it comes to meeting new people and talking to new people in a whole different language. This experience can also help me with my future career of me being a Flight Attendant; this would be an amazing way to communicate with the passengers in my flight, especially if the passengers know how to communicate in American Sign Language.
