Don't Mess With NTID....
I have read from another blog known as The Deaf Sherlock saying that AG Bell name has been voted to be removed from the dorm at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID). I am happy and thrilled that will happen AG Bell does not respect all different walks of life in the deaf community. NTID is a sub college under Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
On top of that, if anyone, anyone tries to mess with NTID thinking that Gallaudet University is better than NTID, please don't even try. I am an alumni of NTID and I am a member of SVP 1983. I went to the reunion at NTID in June and I had a fantastic time.
I was from Hampton, Virginia and I went to NTID for four years from 1983 to 1987. I have deal with all kinds of snows that runs from November to April of each year. I have going to different activates. I am a fan of the RIT Hockey team that has just started playing some games with the Division One Hockey teams. RIT Hockey used to be a Division Three and are in a process to be a member of the Division One Hockey level. By 2009, RIT Hockey will be a full member of Division One Hockey level and will be allowed to play in the Division One Hockey playoffs.
NTID has my favorite college that is truly has my whole heart and spirit. NTID is my Home Sweet Home College. You can laugh all you want about that statement but that is exactly how I feel. I have not to be ashamed of for supporting and love NTID. When I visit back in June, I said I wish I could be a student there all over again. But I can't turn the clock back and do it all over again.
Gallaudet University is another college that I attended to from 1987 to December of 1990. I have some involvement in the Deaf President Now (DPN) protest. I King Jordan became the first Deaf President of Gallaudet University but he did a lousy job with the budget. He never even gotten the Campus Security training in sign language to communicate with students. He made plenty of messes that he does not even deserve to have his name on Students Academics Center Building (SAC). He isn't even dead and his name is already on a building at Gladded University.
So now you asking me why I am saying "Don't Mess With NTID". Because NTID is a warm and open communication with different kinds of communications with open mind. It is where I learn about Open Communication and learn to respect one another. NTID cares about students and respects many different kind of communications. I had more pleasure and better communications at NTID.
If you really want to see my point, do go to NTID with an open mind for one year. Make a couple of friends and go with the flow. After one year, you judge for yourself about NTID. You will see how well around is the open communication and the respect you will get at NTID. Nothing can top or replace NTID. I know you might not enjoy the snows but it is a great place to be.
