Just over half way
Since being on the project for just over two months, I've come to realise the importance of role models in our lives. For me, Tina Feng is someone I personally look up to. Originally from China and hard of hearing, Tina struggled to learn English as a child growing up in Canada. Tina grasped English from copying chemistry mechanisms and chemical structures from her brother's chemistry textbook and developed a profound interest in the chemical sciences. Tina is now carrying out research into biomedical sciences at the National Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology where she uses the chemistry knowledge she gained throughout her degree. Although she had a difficult time at school, Tina has thrived at university surrounded by other deaf students together with access to ASL interpretors and academic support. Tina is an example of how extraordinary dedication can really take you places!
