I feel as if learning sign language has been one of the greatest gifts the world has ever given to me. I can remember having the desire to learn more about it from the age of 7 if not even younger. I would sit in my pre-school, and kindergarden classes rooms, even in Sunday school. as other children were playing with blocks, dolls, and trucks my eyes would glance over to the ever-so-recognizable ASL alphabet poster many of use= may have seen growing up. I would look at it and tell myself and even others around me, I want to learn how to do that. At times, I can recall standing there in front of the poster hunched over and squinting at the pink pudgy alphabet on the laminated advert, trying to mold my hands into those succinct shapes.

I may take some time to edit this entry later, but I really am grateful that I was able to begin learning such an artful and expressive language. I really do dislike misconceptions, being misunderstood, and overall being misconstrued;. I suppose living in the world today is just full of surprises, challenges and difficulties. If we want change we must look in the mirror first before the window.

"Be the change in the world you want to see."
