Speech:
My name is Precious. I identify as Deaf.  I am sixth generation deaf.
This past summer, I spent one month at YLC., Youth Leadership Camp.
Wow!  It was such a rich experience.  I was there with 64 campers from across the United States and Canada.  Some campers were from mainstream schools, others from schools for the deaf. At first, I was highly anxious to go but going changed everything for me in terms of my personal growth and confidence.  I never thought it would change me.  It gave me the confidence to interact with other people…team building, and how to approach problem-solving. I didn’t want to go to YLC. because I was an introvert!
YLC involved a lot of social interaction.  The environment was so supportive, they became like family.  It was a good experience because it gave me confidence, realizing it is okay to fail, because that’s how you learn.
