| Education and experience | Kris is a deaf student, he just finished his high school course and It took him a few years longer than other normal students to finish high school. Because Kris can’t hear, he usually does activities that don’t need talking to people. Kris had a job making bread in his relatives’ bakery. Kris thought it would be very difficult for him to go on to college, and his dream was to be a pastry chef. |
| Roles and responsibilities | Kris is still living with his parents. He works eight or nine hours a day at his relatives’ bakery and has two days off on weekends. He has a good base for making bread. Kris can communicate with others simply, but it is difficult to communicate complex content. |
| Technical skills | Kris has a laptop and a smartphone, and he can use them skillfully. He also has fast Internet connections at home and work. He likes to play video games, and he likes people to use Instagram and Facebook to communicate with other people. |
| Subject domain skills and knowledge | Kris has a solid grounding in cooking since he grew up helping out at a relative’s bakery. He knows how to make and cook bread. He is very adept at using the bakery’s utensils. |
| Motivation and desires | He hopes he can live independently instead of relying on his parents all the time. He received more care from his parents because he is deaf, but he thinks he can now be independent. In his spare time at work, he wants to learn more complicated ways of making cakes and open his own pastry shop. |
| Goals and expectations | Kris’s goal is to learn more difficult pastry techniques, then open up a pastry shop of his own. |
| Obstacles to their success | Kris is a deaf student, so communication is the biggest obstacle to his learning. Because he has difficulty communicating with others, most of the problems are solved by himself, which makes him a little introverted. He had to save money to open his own pastry shop, and he wanted to be independent. So he had to work hard, and there was a problem of time to learn new things. |
| Unique assets | Kris understands very well, and once he knows what is talking about, he can understand how to do it very quickly. He is also very patient. |
