Interests
I have a passion for ASL or American Sign Language. I grew up doing sign language on the school bus. Most of the kids were either deaf or non-verbal. So being the only speaking child I had to know some signs in order to survive day to day stuff. Now as an adult I enjoy signing during church. I also like to doodle and listen to music and be on my computer.
