Alright, so my name is Jocelyn but most people just call me Jocy. I am not deaf or hard of hearing but I am hoping that is alright, regardless of that, I just signed up for an ASL class and have always been intriqued with ASL. I recently started reading For Hearing People Only which is an amazing book in my person opinion and it has inspired me to learn more about deaf culture. Now, I will be attending some deaf events but because I do not know enough presently to make much of a coversation peice, I decided I would look up "deaf chat" on google and then I stumbled across this forum and thought it would be a joy to meet you all and communicate like this, for now. I started learning some ASL from my two friends(one is deaf and one is her translator) a few years ago and ever since I wanted to be a translator and when I discovered I was terrible with learning Spanish I thought perhaps I'd be good at ASL and of course, I love it. It's a wonderful, unique way of communication and I enjoy it so much. Anyways, like I said my name is Jocy. Um, my hobbies inculde dance, horseback ridding, ASL, fly fishing, camping, playing pool, and playing soccer. I love phislospohy and writing. I've been writing poetry, short stories, and personal narritaves since before I can remember. Anyways, thats a pretty long introuduction so i'll stop now and if you want to know more, feel free to ask. I look forward to meeting everyone! :)
