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!
