Hello, again!
After sharing my coop experience with you guys, I also have a chance to read my classmates' fun blogs, and I think they are worth your time reading!
Let's start with Ayu's blog. This girl has a huge passion for food and she is my foodie buddie. It would be fun to explore new restaurants with her, but I'd rather eat my dessert alone! (j/k)
Jeff's blog is also about food. He is a freelance journalist of Toronto.com and had many chances to taste various kinds of food from different countries. Don't know where to spend your money tonight? I think he can help!
Apparently, Ana has spent a lot of time and effort writing her blog about the Television industry. If it's your piece of cake then go for it!
Emir loves photography and I am fond of his pictures. Looking for a different Toronto from a foreigner's perspective? I think this blog will captivate you.
My healthy friend Aakash will give you an interesting insight about the Dairy industry, which I absolutely have no clue. Of course, it will not be just about dairy, so stay tuned!
Any suggestions or comments? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Have you heard about a restaurant that is staffed entirely with Deaf servers? Probably not!
I had my coop job as a Marketing Intern at Signs Restaurant - the first restaurant in Canada that is staffed with deaf servers. The restaurant has a unique dining concept where customers can order the food using American Sign Language (ASL). The menu is designed with illustrations of all food items in ASL. SIGNS also provides one cheat book with common phrases that are used in restaurant to ensure effective communication between customers and SIGNS Deaf Staff.
My task was working closely with the designer and SIGNS Deaf Staff to design one of a kind menu with illustrations, making sure all corporation's requirements were met. I was also in charge of all SIGNS' digital marketing activities and social media marketing. My favorite part of the job was B2B marketing, reaching out to banks and corporations to introduce a team building program which I built in such a way that all games encourage participants to learn and use ASL.
I had a lot of fun and definitely learned so much during my coop term. I brought my friends to SIGNS on my birthday and had a fantastic dinner. The Deaf staff sang "Happy Birthday" to me in American Sign Language and it was such an eye-opening experience that I would never forget.
