I enjoy reading and learning sign language
I relax when reading books on various topics, including mysteries, history of certain countries and cook books. I am currently enrolled in a beginners sign language class. I have had an interest in ASL since I was in elementary school and we had a few students who were deaf. I have always wanted to increase my knowledge of ASL.
