I guess I'm lucky. I am not familier with ASL enough to have an interpreter, nor does my school want to pay for one. I stuggle often, but I have hearing friends whom I love and they love me just the same. My grades aren't great, but WRP got me good jobs. I miss out on a lot of things, but I've accepted it for most days. Maybe I should not. I play with the idea of attempting to doing ASL again, but I'm 21, I feel too old to undergo a switch from mainstreaming to another culture. And I don't really mind my own little world for the most part. I hope your life has some great moments and thrills despite not feeling accepted.

Right now I am tutoring asl students at the local college. I stoped at Asl 3, but I still use an interpreter.

I got frustrated and wanted to quit taking up Asl mostly becuase no one in the deaf world was very caring or understanding. I get judged alot by deafies and sometimes, hearies.

I guess my frustrations have more to do with how I am not accepted in either the deaf world or the hearing then the teacher that was teaching Asl, which is what my complaints were about, if memory serves me right.

I am one of those persons that is not hearing enough for the hearing world and deaf enough for the deaf world or deaf culture. I sit in my own little world. I just go through life making the best of things I can.
