Peyton Coleman-Treasurer (senior)

InFlight: Why did you join Honors Society?

P.C.: I joined ASL Honor Society because I am dedicated to learning about the Deaf community.

InFlight: Why did you campaign to be one of the club’s officers?

P.C.: I campaigned to be treasurer because everyone in the class told me to and I decided that it’d be best for me.

InFlight: How did it feel to be elected as an officer?

P.C.: I felt honored to be elected because I felt as I deserve it for all my hard work I’ve put into ASL for the past three years.

InFlight: What are some things you’d like to do in ASLHS?

P.C.: In ASL honor society I’d like to do some community service to help better the Deaf community or do some sort of act to bring awareness to the community.

InFlight: What do you find interesting about ASL as a language?

P.C.: I found ASL as a whole very interesting because other countries have different sign language so technologically it is not a world language. Also, the Deaf community finds ways to maneuver around the hearing community.

InFlight: What is something you’re excited for in ASLHS?

P.C.: I am so excited to be more involved in the Deaf community and be in a leadership position.

Abigale Parrott-Secretary (sophomore)

InFlight: Why did you join Honors Society?

A.P.: I joined because I love ASL and the community and culture behind it. I wanted to be more involved in the ASL department at our school.

InFlight: Why did you campaign to be one of the club’s officers?

A.P.: I campaigned because I did want to be in ASLHS, but I wanted to be more involved in it other than just participating in the club, I wanted to be able to help and make decisions that helped the club and the members of it.

InFlight: How did it feel to be elected as an officer?

A.P.: I was very happy to find out that I was elected because I didn’t really think I would win because the person I was running against was a senior. When I did I was very happy to find out that I had been elected.

InFlight: What do you find interesting about ASL as a language?

A.P.: I liked ASL because it was a visual language and I knew some people that were hard of hearing and Deaf. My sister also took the class and would show me some of the different things she would do, and I loved the language. I find it amazing that even though it isn’t a spoken language, it can convey more emotion than English or any spoken language could.

InFlight: What is something you’re excited for in ASLHS?

A.P.: I am very excited for some of the upcoming competitions that we have; to go and watch them, or maybe participate in them. I am also excited for some of the service things and other opportunities we will have to ‘hang out with’ or experience the Deaf culture

InFlight: Why did you campaign to be one of the club’s officers?

B.C.: I campaigned to be Vice President originally because people were telling me to run but after a few days, I realized that I wanted to make a difference with this club.

InFlight: How did it feel to be elected as an officer?

B.C.: It didn’t set in until a few days after but now it feels really awesome to be able to represent such an amazing group of people.

InFlight: What are some things you’d like to do in ASLHS?

B.C.: I’d like to do some fundraisers to earn enough money to go somewhere cool maybe even Gallaudet University

InFlight: What do you find interesting about ASL as a language?

B.C.: The most interesting thing about ASL as a language is the culture and how everyone in the community is so supportive especially of beginners.

InFlight: What is something you’re excited for in ASLHS?

B.C.: I’m excited about learning more about the group as a whole and creating lasting friendships.
