I met with Hannah's principle, Mr. Stevenson, and he informed me that Hannah is basically failing all of her classes. She has N's in all of them. After the meeting I emailed her teacher who was very helpful and let me know what Hannah needs help with. She is a bright, smart girl but she isn't organized or always motivated. Her teacher even gave me the login information so that I'd be able to keep track of her grades. I've decided that I will try to help Hannah get back on track and bring her grades up. My visits with her will focus on school. I will make sure she is doing her work and stay on her case. If she does what she is supposed to do and if we have time I will take her out as an award. I'm already getting more involved than I thought I would. I like it. I like working with a child to help them reach their goals and potential. I have to do what I have to do to make sure Hannah gets to go back home with her Grandma and younger brother.
This is a blog highlighting the ups and downs I have faced since finding out I am hard of hearing. It has been a whirlwind journey to sound and I have learned a lot about myself and the prejudices of the world. I am sharing these things in the hopes that maybe it will help someone else feel less alone.

First Home Visit
I had my first home visit with Hannah today. I met her at her foster home and we talked. It was a little awkward for me because it takes me time to warm up to people and I didn't know what to talk about. I didn't know what was going on with her school and new developments on her case because this was my first visit. I have an appointment with her principle next week and her next court visit isn't until February. She seemed okay and I'm anxious to really start working with her and getting to know her. Maybe on my next visit we could go somewhere instead of staying at her foster home.

LSAT
I took the LAST this morning at UVU and I am not sure how I did. I hope I did well so I can start applying to law schools and get on to the next chapter of my life. I was nervous all night so I barely slept. I didn't do so well on my first test and my year is almost up. I want to be going to law school by Fall. We'll see how it goes once I get the results.
