My name is Sunshine and I am a full time student (16 units
this semester), but first of all I am a mom and a wife; I have a ten year old
daughter, a six year old son and a wonderful husband that is also my best
friend.
My major at Sierra College is Natural Science and by the end of next semester I will be transferring to Sac State for a major in Health Science.
I love spending my free time at the ocean, rivers, lakes…Yes, I love water!! My favorite activity is scuba diving but unfortunately I don't get to do it much lately. However, I also love fishing and I go fishing all the time.
I was born and raised in Israel and moved to live in CA at the end of the year 2000, when I was 25 years old. I arrived in LA and traveled up the coast. On the third day I stooped in Sacramento for the night and there I met my husband. Traveling as a tourist in a different country, with different culture and language, is an interesting communication experience; however, becoming a resident in this country is not only interesting, but also a very challenging communication experience. In any case, the "communication story" I like to share with you took place in 2000 when I met my husband. At that time my vocabulary in English was very minimal, but it didn't bother me that I wasn't able to understand much of the things that my husband (boyfriend at that time) was saying. I also didn't care that I was not able to worldly express myself. I remember; I just looked at his facial expressions and his body language, and smiled. that's all I needed.
As for my experience in Communication Studies, I have none, but I am looking forward to gain some in this class. My goal for this class is to complete all assignment to the best I can, and I hope that at the end of this class I will be able to have a better understanding of the communication process.

I am very excited to start this semester, and I am looking forward to meet you and read your
blogs.
Cheers to an enjoyable and successful semester!

Hi Sunshine,
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring story! That is incredible how you met your husband, sort of seems like kismet was in place for you! Communication is so incredibly important, I am taking my second semester in sign language at Sierra and I have learned that even though you sign words, you also communicate with facial expressions. That has been somewhat challenging for me! It's hard to remember when I should furrow my eyebrows or when I should raise them up and the face your making when you sign a word is just as important. I am also taking a ton of units this semester! I am taking 17 units and I took 12 units over the summer, it appears I am a glutton for punishment! :)
Good luck this semester!
Kate
