Student Voice: Student Shares how an Afterschool Club helped her Learn a Whole New Language

Welcome to our next edition of Student Voice, where we highlight the accomplishments, reflections, and experiences of our incredible students. Today, we are proud to feature Riley Krauss, who shares how an afterschool club helped her learn a whole new language.

Hello, my name is Riley Krauss, and I am a senior at Saugerties High School. I have been practicing American Sign Language (ASL) since my freshman year. I first became interested in ASL during an English assignment where we were asked to write about something we had always wanted to do. I chose sign language because I had always found it interesting but had never taken the steps to learn it. Not even a week after that assignment, I attended my first ASL club meeting at Saugerties High School. From that moment on, I knew it was something I wanted to pursue. Since then, I have taken multiple ASL classes and continued learning, with the goal of becoming fluent.
