Background info:
|
I work four days a week as a Teacher of the Deaf (TOD) at my local primary school, where I adore my children. They are so funny, clever but sometimes cheeky, and that's okay.
I also study full-time doing my Master in Disability Studies (Specialised in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children), training to become a qualified TOD. On top of that, I also work as a Project Coordinator for Writers SA to run this Deaf Writers project this year. How do I find the time to do all of that? I'll never know. I just do it because it is my passion, and I love this project as I have in the past few years. |
