Some deaf people can escape colleges with DVRS with no debt or hardly any. I graduated with no debt, and I can proudly say that I am very lucky and thankful to vocational rehabilitation services who helped me going through.
Disney College Program: 2000 
Summer Program Deaf West Theatre: 2001 
Summer Program National Theatre of the Deaf: 2001
I worked internship through Disney College Program throughout college includes with summer program at Deaf West Theatre and National Theatre of the Deaf during 2000 and 2001 which I will say that I am also proud and thankful to University of Northern Colorado has motivated me to go to those three programs.
However, since I graduated in 2003, I had been struggling finding job that matches my degree in Theater Arts Emphasis Director for a few years so I had to turn back to vocational rehabilitation services to help me build my own business through Rehabilitation Counselors for Entrepreneurship which it took me one year to learn and launched my new business, Rocky Mountain Deaf Theatre (RMDT) in 2011 which is a very rarely happen to anyone. Again I am very proud and thankful to them. Today here I am as Artistic Director for ImaginASL Perfoming Arts (This came from RMDT into Non Profit Organization) in 2016. PLUS I am freelance director, teacher, actress, mentor, interior designer, full-time mother and a new blogger and I am loving it!
I do not regret all of my journey with no debts.
Your turn: Do you have any barriers after graduation? Do you consider vocational rehabilitation service “helpful”?
