In the past week I've seen Deaf people three times.<br />1. in line at a pizza place<br />2. at a grocery store<br />3. while driving down the road they were walking on the side. These were all different people, and we live in a smallish community. (the biggest "city" nearby is about 50,000 - but ours is closer to 1,000.)Laurahttp://findinginsanity.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098293668088212810.post-59757606495424949072010-08-03T22:44:05.198-07:002010-08-03T22:44:05.198-07:00Great post.

Even so, I'm so grateful for what I do know -- it's been such a blessing and has opened up a new world to me.<br /><br />One last thought...A friend once shared a cool insight with me, "Learning a new language is like getting another soul." So much in that idea and so true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098293668088212810.post-77645780542456116502010-08-03T10:47:27.394-07:002010-08-03T10:47:27.394-07:00In my opinion, the person who cited "...it di...In my opinion, the person who cited "...it didn't matter if a hearing child learns to sign because they may never meet a Deaf person in their life..." has already shut the doors with that type of mindset to actually meeting a Deaf person and is being ignorant to the fact that a hearing child can benefit significantly from learning sign language; not to mention how it can have the capacity to help that hearing child by opening more doors to both the Deaf community and the job force (interpreters) in the future that this person (with that type of close minded mindset) isn't even cognizant of.Gina Dysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00891091473569834512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098293668088212810.post-72216066828071308632010-08-02T18:00:15.284-07:002010-08-02T18:00:15.284-07:00That is the excellent random blog post you ever pu...That is the excellent random blog post you ever published! <br /><br />Random, indeed! <br /><br />There are SO many people who are able to sign, and we need to give them 'permission' to allow signing in the public. Listening and talking dominates, but signing enhances communication to the greater levels that people never expect that it would.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />Amy Cohen EfronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
