Transcript: I came to Gallaudet to major in communication studies. In classes, I found that we have a lot of in-depth conversations and discuss how we can apply what we learn to everyday life for continued success. The nice thing is that we have staff support with your academics and career, and the number of internships is amazing. [An individual hands Tionna a iPad, and she thanks them] All of these things have shaped my experiences. I am the first in my family to graduate college. How cool is that?
