Transcript: Did you know that you'll find your lifetime friends in college?

It's true!

A good friend of mine told me about Gallaudet, and they told me about Gallaudet's academic excellence and athletic experiences.

When I came, they were definitely right!

My major is in Physical Education and Recreation.

For me, a foundation of that is in education and working hard in my life.

Outside the classroom, I'm also an athlete.

I have full access to coaches in ASL and they help me in the process to graduation.

This has been the right decision for me, and it can be for you too! [Laron catches a basketball and thrusts it forward to the camera]
