I started learning BSL in 2002, and since my Sign Name
is that of a
Goldfish
(as, like me, they only have a memory span of one
minute), it's been a
slow,
but incredibly enjoyable, process of learning.
Jessica took me under her wing from the start, working
with her at
DeafPLUS.
Working there gave me the opportunity to meet and
assist many people
who I
now regard as friends. It also gave me the opportunity
to become
involved in
the Playscheme, a unique, and much needed venture. At
the age of 50, I
am
the oldest of the bunch, but the children make me feel
young at heart.
I
wish I could say that my age lends wisdom, but I don't
think maturity
comes
into it, especially when something like a water fight
is
involved!!!!!!!
I have to say that it's a joy to be a part of such a
fun, action packed
Playscheme!
