Deaf ASL Class

About myself and family get learn ASL

“My life about football”


In high school I played football. I would join and play any sports, but FOOTBALL will always be my favorite sports because I have the experience playing football. Football is always fun and play against everyone. I have been playing football for 4 years. My goal was to keep myself in shape or feel young for football in college. I will remember that I wanted to play football at my old college but they didn't have football or I will live far from my old college. It took me few years for the right time and it has come and t is in my hometown San Bernardino Valley College. So, I decided to join the football team at San Bernardino Valley College. I really missed playing football. As soon as I was part of the team I realized that the players were young. I thought the team will be mixed of ages but it wasn't since I thought college was about any ages. I felt weird but I made it through the football season of 2007.

I felt about hearing culture and deaf too. I have been with hearing team players and I thought how we can communicate. I was very glad that they were more understanding and learned some basic sign language to keep simple communication with me like, what's up, wave hands, and hello.

My coach really got frustrated with me; I understood how his felt because I was frustrated with the coach. The coaches were not used to sign language interpreter. I did not feel close to the teacher "Coach" because I know what it is to be with football that is both DEAF COACH OR DEAF TEAM PLAYERS. It was so much easier for me get understand them that will show emotion and feeling. My Deaf coach knows that we can keep eye on the ball or tackle the ball. In the hearing football team I will make mistake because it is hard to tell and follow the coach for the plays of code football. There are so much difference of the code between Deaf football team and hearing football team.

San Bernardino Valley College football coach was wonderful, hard worker with me and another team players. I have been patient through the football season and did not give up. They told me that they would like teach me during off season to practice and study to learn so I will be ready for next football seasons of 2008.

When I look at other people and know that we are the same human being , just that I can't hear and speak. It is like a hearing people that don't know how to sign or what it is like to be a Deaf.

I am looking forward to Fall 2008 and play Defense line for San Bernardino Valley College because it is easy and basic for me.

I wanted to thank you the coaches at San Bernardino Valley College to let me to be part of the football season of 2007.

All about Me, Myself, I and Jonathan

I DO not believe in everyone. My Reasons is because people make me look bad when they mention my name. I have LIFE!! Someone who wants my help, fall in love or true friendship. I would like to help. I see with own my eyes and my point of view. I think I should share of my feeling and opinion too. Someone who has no LIFE like socialized or fun of life. There is a problem between family and friends. I would like help out move on because they not like to put in the place for problem or trouble. I like drama free. I am going solves problem then after move on. Leave someone alone. Till someone get better with their life. I like respect too. I always like to go get some fun! If someone would like same me or someone have free time or else. Would like be love hang out and etc. always they say notice that someone change because of me?! What is your point? That s BULLSHIT!! They are jealous or decide to stop being friends with me. It's their choice not me. I got woke up, someone told someone that I pulled and try get someone's friends away or do thing in my way. I DO NOT do this shit. I have been busy and I got plans. Someone told me please pay off for my debts. And they make looking at me like I am a bad person and look me down and involve someone else in our problems that s BULLSHIT! It is not my fault I am trying to have a LIFE and try to make a living.Everyone always say that Jonathan always avoid problem it is because I longer don't want to have problem with them. If they have problem with me then come and talk to me and like face to face. No heard of them the story. I would like to tell by truth and admit it too. What is there have point. Depend on issues about of situation. I had been frustrated. Everyone judges me of my life or between people. Suppose not need say about this. Would be flow of the heart and view or someone feel comfortable more hang out often or more closed would like, I will share of life and truth too. Every time I go out with a friend of two that is dear to me and automatic everyone will ask me if I m in relationship with someone or more than friend. No. Please have some respect. Till we feel comfortable and or I depend of the mood to share or not. I will make me uncomfortable too. If I were in your shoes you owe me. I will be patient. There s plenty of money but it's MADE of paper how ironic. IT will not run out No time hang out if with hang out will be pay owe back of like family would like be same friendship. When I have found a job or save will back pay to you. You are not forgotten.I want the best of myself and your friends. I am not giving up. I will not make you to give up for me. I wish for everyone to be fair and share true friendship. I just want to take this out of my chest. Hope you understand this and share our friendship. FRIENDSHIP MEANS UNITY. FRIENDSHIP CIRCLE IS NOT MEANT TO BE BROKEN BUT CIRCLE MEANT TO GET BIGGER EACH FRIENDSHIP HAS BEEN MADE.
