This was the story I signed for my Children’s Book project in class
What do I want to do with my life? No doubt a question that every person asks at one point in their life; if not more than once. But just because everybody before me has asked that question does not mean it will make it any less easy to answer it for myself. There are a few options fluttering around in front of me and I can only wish that one will flutter too close and tangle in my hair so I know I would be stuck with it… But nothing is that easy. I love to write; however I don’t necessarily believe I’m a phenomenal writer. I want to master American Sign Language, as much as a non-deaf individual possibly can. I love the field of psychology but I’ve been told more than the majority of psych majors end up as counselors and I could not see myself happy doing that.
I’ve recently finished reading the Twilight Saga and no doubt this has sparked my interest (yet again) into changing my major. But I know with any great novel that it takes time and an extremely creative mind, but do I have that? Do I have the skill to entrance an individual to the point the just blow through my story because they can’t force themselves to stop? I don’t know. And I doubt professional author’s can even truly answer that question, even about themselves.
Basically I’m just another soon to be sophomore in college that is getting closer to her educational end but has no iea what road will actually lead her there.
I found this video while browsing around youtube land looking for ASL videos. I really like how she signs it; as well as how she is a firm believer in that the Deaf community are the only ones who are ALWAYS the correct signers, not the ones who learn it and automatically think they are part of the Deaf community. They are terribly mistaken if you ask me.
Now that school has ended I am slowly losing my fairly abundant vocabulary of signs. I knew I would but I figured since I try and translate as much as I can when I talk that I’d retain more than I am. Sadly, that is not happening. The worst part of it all is there is nowhere in Tucson where I can go and just ‘practice’ my signing ability. I don’t have any deaf friends and the last deaf individual I tried to be friends with questioned my intentions of becoming their friend. Long story short: I talked to them online. Wanted to get together and hang out. Then he started communicating to me thru about 4 different forms of technology that I was only trying to befriend him to practice signing… Which I didn’t even know then! Nor did I know he was deaf! However, I understand he may have been in a situation like that and being I’ve never been deaf, I don’t know how some people may be. BUT anywayssss… I have no ability to talk with anyone who signs and it’s starting to annoy me. I am growingly bored with signing to myself or my dogs. Hmph. I will defeat this terrible sign-less summer and go to class next semester just as fresh as I left last.
I found this video on another blog I was looking at and I just keep watching it over and over!! His facial expressions tell the whole song… well, plus the few sings I do know. =D
