Hello, my name is Paige Foreman.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:07,900
I'm a sophomore.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:16,700
I'm pursuing a double major in English and 
Secondary Education. Minoring in Philosophy.

4
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:25,200
My goal for the future is to become a writer.

5
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:33,700
I love writing so of course I would major 
in English to take courses related to writing.

6
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:41,300
The Honor program has really helped me by 
allowing me to pursue an Honor Contract in 
my English classes.

7
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:46,200
This allows me to focus on specific things.

8
00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:54,000
For example, if i want to focus on religious 
literature, an Honor contract will give me 
that opportunity.

9
00:00:54,100 --> 00:01:01,400
Also for my Capstone project, I plan to work 
on a creative project like a novel.

10
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,000
This is what I really want for my Capstone.

11
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:20,900
After graduation I plan to attend Baltimore 
University and get two Masters degrees in 
Deaf Education and Creative Writing.

12
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,100
Then I want to continue and receive my Ph.D.

13
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,600
I want to become a college english professor 
and a novelist.

14
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:36,500
The Honor Program is really helping me achieve 
these goals.

15
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,700
In the future I want to become a writer, 
so what do I want to write about?

16
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:55,500
I think I want to write mostly write young 
adult fiction and middle school fiction.

17
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:03,700
Recently, I wrote a book about an every day 
girl who lives on a sunflower farm.

18
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:09,800
It tells the story of her life and the struggles 
she faces.

19
00:02:09,900 --> 00:02:16,400
The girl tends to have a negative attitude 
on life but later in the story she begins 
to have a more positive outlook on life.

20
00:02:16,500 --> 00:02:19,100
I enjoy writing stories like these when writing 
middle school ficiton.

21
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,200
I also enjoy writing young adult fiction.

22
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:32,100
I'm also beginning to write a young adult 
science fiction novel about a guy who becomes 
a robot.

23
00:02:35,900 --> 00:02:44,900
I also enjoy writing poetry. As well as song 
writing. I enjoy writing everything.

24
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,200
I'm involved in many activities on the  Gallaudet 
campus.

25
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,500
Firstly, I'm on the Gallaudet Swim Team.

26
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:11,100
I'm not the best but I enjoy swimming and 
I swim some tough events during competition.

27
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,600
I compete in the Butterfly, and the 400 Individual 
Medley to name a few. I enjoy it.

28
00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:22,700
I also write newspaper articles for the school 
paper called "Buff and Blue."

29
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:32,800
I mainly write about  entertainment such 
as upcoming or past plays or performances 
that happened on campus.

30
00:03:32,900 --> 00:03:44,900
I'm also involved in the sorority called 
Delta Zeta because I really want to be involved 
in social events on campus.

31
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:52,900
For example: I enjoy doing community service 
but it's really hard to find.

32
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,400
So I joined a Sorority to help me with this 
specific area that I'm weak in.

33
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:16,900
Alot of people give Gallaudet the reputation 
of being a party school but I don't think 
that's true.

34
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:34,600
All colleges are party schools in their own 
way but remember that you make the choice 
on whether or not to be involved in parties. 
It's your decision.

35
00:04:34,700 --> 00:04:48,000
You have to shift your focus to other things 
such as Buff and Blue, Swim Team, Honors, 
and other activities.
