Hello,

My name is Nikki and I'm a student at Tahoma highschool in Washington state. I'm currently enrolled in an ASL class with a teacher that emphasizes exposure of the Deaf Community. The semester is almost up and for my semester paper I've decided to report on Deaf Pride. I, myself, am hearing. Just in case you were wondering.

I was curious if anybody would be able to tell me exactly how a member of the Deaf Community is involved with it. I know the requirements and everything, but once you're in the Community, how do you continue being active in it?

What does the Deaf Comunity do? Are there meetings, or projects, or anything? (I don't mean to sound stupid or anything, I honestly don't know.)

Is there anything you would like to tell hearing people about the Deaf Community?

Also, are there any good websites I could visit to get a better grasp of the Deaf Community?

I really think that ANY suggestions at all would be helpful and would be very much appreciated. Thank you for anything you can offer to help!
