Hello there, my name is Adam, I'm a 23 year old male from Sacramento, California.
I am a social worker from a private non-profit funded by Alta Regional. I went to school for graphic design, but found that the field is rather cut-throat and decided to follow the social services career path instead.
I am a hearing member of the alldeaf community, and I've taken an interest in registering because of my neighbor. He's an older gentleman, and just last week I had a chance to meet his wife and I invited them over for a bbq. When they arrived, he wasn't doing any talking, so I walked over and introduced myself. He began write on a small pad "Deaf... but hello" and showed him with a large grin, chuckling lightly. We spent most of the night exchanging words on paper, and he and his wife (who is hearing) took time to show me a few signs - even some naught so safe for work ones, which were quite funny.
Because of my neighbor I've just recently purchased some books on ASL and have begun learning it in my free time. I just wanted to introduce myself here, so if you see me posting in any ASL threads (or any other threads, furthermore) you won't have to wonder who I am.
