Thats kinda common among people who can still hear a little bit. I dont know about the girl, but for me, i never really cared to learn sign language at a young age for several reasons.

1) without my hearing aid i am almost completely deaf, yet with a combination of good hearing aids and lip reading, i still do alright. I was already different from my peers, i did not want to be more different.

2) I grew up in an area where i never met or interacted with deaf/hoh people, even in school. All my family and friends hear well, and I use an FM in school. Becouse of that, i had no reason to learn, since i have never needed to communicate with deaf ppl.

So, it is kinda reasonable for her not to learn. (Dumb, yes, unreasonable, no)

What's the average age of the other interns there? I turn 28 when I finish school so I am curious how old people are in general in the IR field.

Aw there goes my plan for just going in with my undergraduate.

Just out of curiosity, do they look at your gpa average? I know in school that is important, but what about when you are applying for internship at any UN or NGO office?

Serious question I have been wondering for a while now.

Do you ever get tired by the consistent amount of similar questions being asked years on end?

After a certain point, you must have heard many variations Of the same questions? I thought of this in uni where people keep bringing up the same questions, and thinking they are being original.

Just seems like after a while one must resist the urge to answer differently just for the fun of it or out of sheer boredom.
