Hello! My name is Miranda, but a lot of people call me Andi. [side note: I got that nickname a few years ago when I took an ASL class because it was easier to fingerspell :P]
I'm 21 years old and I live in California. I've always loved ASL and the deaf culture; my mom took ASL in college and almost became an interpretor. We also had some deaf neighbors growing up. In addition, I was in a girl scout type group for homeschooled girls and there was an ASL badge that we all worked on with the help of my mom; this included visiting a deaf school.
I just love the language and I'm pretty rusty since it's been a while so I'd love to meet people, hearing and non-hearing, who I could practice with; if any are nearby, maybe we can meetup and sign in person? :]
I can't wait to talk to you all soon!

to AllDeaf forum. I am glad that your mom took ASL in college. Now you are following her footsteps in learning to sign and visit a Deaf school. 
I would love to have many hearing people visit a Deaf school or a sign language program in the mainstream school (having an ASL interpreter and be in socially with other deaf students in ASL).
