ASL - by Kristy

Today I wanted to share an inspiring story of my own. Last week when volunteering at the Children's Hospital, I met a young deaf girl. Since I had taken a year of American Sign Language at school, I introduced myself and she was so surprised and happy that I could communicate with her in sign. We ended up having a lot of fun playing with all sorts of toys. This girl was so witty, she was telling jokes through sign language and that is such an unbelievable sight to see. It just goes to show how you never know how, when, or where an opportunity to make a difference in some body's day can come up. The feeling you get is immeasurable and unexplainable.
