Wow this has been an experience. My whole life has changed. I knew that learning ASL was going to be demanding, but I had no idea it would be like this! I guess I didn't know what immersion class really was. I am immersed. I study all the time. I just recently found a tutor named Brittany.
I am not going to give up. I want to talk to my friend Brian. He has six brothers none of them sign! His mom can sign, but his dad can't. He lost his fingers in an accident. He is lonely. He has some bad friends. I heard that his interpreter not help him much in school. If I get to be an interpreter I would do my very best. I may not be very good, but I would try. I would never let a student sit alone. I know how that feels now. In your class, I try to understand and I get confused.
I studied sign before I came here. I get so nervous in class that my stomach hurts. I can do it till you call on me. I FREAK OUT!! I worry because I want to do it right for you. Class makes me so nervous I can't eat. I have lost a pants size. The immersion diet.
I don't know how you do it, you have a child one on the way and you put up with us. I know it has to get frustrating and you get tired. I know you get tired when we say again, but it is how we learn.
I will tell you this I am giving you my best effort. That is all I can do. I do not know how to work any harder.
I am trying to do better w the stress I got a massage, I run, I cry. I want to learn this more than anything else in the world. I don't think medical school would be this hard! :-)
