I forgot to mention something very important in my last blog. Well, yes to summarize the blog I posted yesterday - I had the week off for Semana Santa, ali and I went on lots of afternoon adventures, and Jas/miya were here. On Sunday, Amir and I also ate hard boiled eggs to celebrate Easter. Then we had a study party to catch up on hw from the vacation. BUT that’s not the important part --- my big news is that I decided to go to TCU for graduate school for the next two years. I am really excited about my decision and I think it’s the right thing for me and plus that means I get two more years in Texas with Sharlarose, Christine, Elise, Shane, and Emily. But that also means I have to move everything back, ah!! that’s okay, because most of my stuff is in the girl’s outside closet anyways. But everything seems to be working out PERFECTLY for summer plans. I am going back to Texas on May 30th for summer clinic/sharing sharla’s room with her for the month of june. Then, I will be heading back to California, July 4th weekend to start working at John Tracy Clinic for their Spanish Summer Session. And that means I get to work with Spanish deaf babies!! = my dream come true. Also, on Monday I heard from the AGBell Association about the Listening and Spoken Language Symposium Scholarship that I applied for in March. And they gave it to me, so it looks like I am heading to St. Louis this summer too!! Elizabeth also received the same scholarship and so I will be going to visit her at Fontbonne when we are there for the symposium. I am so excited! I emailed Dr. Morrison to let her know and she was so excited for both of us too.
She sent me an article she wrote about us for the Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences Newsletter:
"Valerie Lew and Elizabeth Boschini, undergraduate COSD students in speech-language pathology, have each been awarded scholarships from the AG Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to attend the AG Bell Listening and Spoken Language Symposium July 23-25, 2009. Valerie and Elizabeth's essays were placed in competition with students from across the US, including students at the graduate level. The AGBell symposium is a bi-annual meeting that presents current research topics pertinent to intervention with children with hearing loss. This year's topic is the impact of executive function on education and developmental outcomes.
Valerie Lew will be joining the TCU graduate program in speech-language pathology in Fall, 2009.
Dr. Helen Morrison will be presenting one of 2 invited short courses at the symposium with Dr. Jane Madell Co-Director of the Cochlear Implant Center at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary, titled Renewed Perspectives in Listening and Spoken Language."
Anyways, so there has been good news all around and I couldn’t be happier! I will post my blog about lagos tomorrow.
