When I was 6, my cousin was born deaf. Her parents never took the time to master sign language and it always bothered me. From a very early age I took an avid interest in Sign Language and taught myslef the alphabet so thta I could atleast fingerspell to her. When I was about 17 years old I had gone to church on a Sunday night with all my friends and there was an ASL interpreter there who was interpreting the Worship Songs and the Service. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this was my calling. Flash forward 9 years later and I finally went back to school and am about to finish my first year of ASL, I am doing really well and I just wonder if I should continue to pursue this or if anyone else has had a similar experience, knowing what their calling is?
SIgn Language Interpreting?
