I have been gone for a while and I acknowledge that but in August I had an amazing experience. At my summer job, we had two customers come to the store, who were both deaf. Long story short, the woman pulled me aside and showed me the pair of shoes she was interested in purchasing. I was nervous but decided to give some of my ASL a go. It was little bits of sign, like black, finger spelling, I am learning sign, and the one I was most proud of was offering to help them carry stuff to their car using the sign for help. I will admit I froze up fingers signing but the fact I tried and she appreciated it was the best part. Definitely, something I was very very proud of. Anyway, let’s get on with the learning. Also took my mask off to help read lips and didn’t get covid whoop whoop.

PS: thank you to the customers out there for being so patient with me while I learned and practice!!
