I understand that most people on this site are deaf, but not all are - like myself. I am wondering what inspired you to learn sign language. The reason I learned it is this - when I was in high school, I worked at the camera counter in Target and 2 deaf teens came in looking to buy a camera. The other guys I worked with refused to help the teens since they didn't know sign language. Well, that made me mad! I went and got a pen and pad of paper and wrote the the teens and helped them (by the way, they bought the camera). After that happened, I started studying sign language. A couple of months later, another deaf person came in to buy a camera, and this time I was prepared. Though I did not know a lot at the time, they guy was pleased that I was making an effort to help him (and he bought a camera, also).
I still like to help deaf people in stores if I see them and they are trying to talk to a worker.
That's my reason for learning sign language - what's your?
