Hello, my name is Katherine and I want to, like, introduce myself and why I am making video posts daily.
Here, right now, I am in Jamaica J-A-M-A-I-C-A.
I arrived yesterday, I left from LA, California, America.
I arrived to Florida and then down to Jamaica.
I arrived at around 7:45am.
Then, there was some problems with my luggage.....
But it turned out alright and I got my luggages and everything.
And then I drove to J-A-D, Jamaica Association A-S-S-O-C-I-A-T-I-O-N for the Deaf.
I, then took a tour of the pre-K to 7th, no, sorry, 6th grade.
Then, 7th..and high school 7th to 13th grade.
Overall there is around 22 teachers.
I think...80 students.
good number, I think....
Yesterday, basically, introduction day. I met everyone at J-A-D and talk to my boss, Debbie.
Yeah, just mingle/hang out and get to know people.
Today I woke up at 5am, that's early for me. Too early.
But, today my boss picked me up and picked up other people.
Drove about one hour to M-A-Y P-E-N deaf school.
North area.
What did I do there?
I gave out A-S-S-E-S-M-E-N-T test for their writing and math skills.
So, basically I....
It had pictures on the paper and the student had to write what they see.
Wow, it was tough for me to do.
A lot of the kids don't know how to spell,...
they don't know what words mean,...
so, I struggled all day, explaining each and each word, each sentence, each vocabulary words.
It really made me realize a lot.
America's education system, is great.
wonderful.
Ahem, really that's enough about that but anyways.
Then I drove, well not me, but my boss drove here, dropped me off.
Now I have a break until later in the evening.
I will shop for more E-S-S-E-N-T-I-A-L things.
yeah...
Here, I live in a house with 7 bedrooms.
And 5 roommates, who are all girls.
But, in my room, there's no roommate and I'm alone. Thank God.
Yeah, that's it.
Well, so, now this video will be posted periodically, everyday.
...I hope, yeah.
And if I have time, yesterday I arrived home exhausted.
So I just knocked out early.
Ah, tomorrow the plans are, I will switch over to a different center.
I will be working with S-O-C-I-A-L services, resources, advocacy, uhh, yeah.
Working with, R-I-A-N G-A-Y-L-E.
Really, first he will give a presentation at J-A-D deaf school area.
pre-K to 13th grade.
Then, after that, I will tag along with him to the other center.
..Social Services.
Welp, that's it, tomorrow, really it's a play by ear day.
I don't know exactly what will happen, what I will do, I don't know.
But, tomorrow I will try to post a video, yeah.
That's it!
