We interviewed Om, Shailesh, Saumit, and Kushal. <\/span><\/p>\n

How did you feel when your prototype was going to be tested?<\/span><\/p>\n

Om<\/span>: I felt very jittery while testing the prototype. I was afraid it wouldn\u2019t work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shailesh<\/span>: I felt like I was like on thin ice and like it wouldn\u2019t make it all the way, and I was actually like suddenly frozen in place, and I thought it will just make a little move.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saumit<\/span>: From first to the testing day I never felt nervous because of my team. They were friendly, and they were encouraging me every day making me feel better.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kushal<\/span>: I felt little nervous and excited but I had one question. Will the car make it?<\/span><\/p>\n

Book Review: \u201cEl Deafo\u201d by Cece Bell<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Kira L., TP2<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you ever met someone who is deaf? This comic book, \u201cEl Deafo,\u201d explains the wonders of how Cece Bell, the main character, came from a regular child to a special deaf kid. She has to face many challenges, but encounters many laughters, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Cece is diagnosed when she was five. She had to live through it for a long time. When she is at home, she has to wear a small pair of hearing aids, but at school Cece wears a giant hearing aid called the Phoenix Ear. She has a really hard time, but gets use to it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Cece meets new friends at school, but it can be tough at times. One friend she made was Laura. Things just didn\u2019t work out with her. At the start, Laura was nice to Cece. She gave her Fritos and was pretty funny. Then, things started getting out of hand. Laura started doing these twin clothes and trillions of sleepovers. At one sleepover, Laura allowed her dog to bite Cece\u2019s leg. Now Laura was kind of mean! She even judged Cece\u2019s drawings! Cece thought Laura was bossy. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>\"Picture \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Cece is put into a sign language class at a church. She doesn\u2019t want to learn to sign. Her mom made her join. Cece\u2019s teacher and classmates all try to encourage her to sign, but she just doesn\u2019t want to. \u201cGood grief.\u201d Cece thought. \u201cHow will I ever get out of this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Cece wants is a true friend, someone who will listen, play, and not be bossy. Being a true friend means being caring, helpful, and someone who actually cares for you. Someone like Laura wouldn\u2019t make an actual friend.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do you think Cece will be able to reach her goal and meet the true friend she\u2019s always wanted, or will she still be down, down, down, where no one is there for her?<\/span><\/p>\n

READ THE COMIC BOOK TO FIND OUT! \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
