ASL class starts today - Level TWO!!
A more silent world I am really excited about taking the level 2 class this year. We were all really worried that it wasn't going to happen since we needed a minimum number of people and a couple people from level 1 moved away over the summer. So it is very welcome news that the class is happening, and I am really looking forward to taking my ASL to the next level!!

Happy Grandparents Day!
Filipino Deaf from the Eyes of a Hearing Pers When I was asked to interpret for a deaf couple who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary many years ago, I can't help but get teary eyed as their children were asked to say a short message honoring their parents.

Smarter Than a 5th Grader?!?
We Cue! What I really love about September is that none of the erasers have been chewed off the pencils.  Yet.
