Transcript: I finally got to Gallaudet, and my life changed immensely.

I came for DYF (Discover Your Future) one summer, and I truly discovered my future.

I found a sense of belonging, felt valued, and made wonderful friends who support me!

There are so many different benefits for majoring in pyschology as well as being part of the Gallaudet community.

Wow!

Gallaudet really helped me realize how much I love my community and how I can invest in it, and provide more mental helath support for Deaf professionals who need it.

I can also provide educational resources for clients and the communities that need it.

I never would have imagined I would become a behavior technician in my internship for a non-profit organization.

I have Gallaudet to thank for increasing my confidence.

When you come and find the major of your dreams, you'll find your future too!
