1. I have progressive hearing loss and very poor speech discrimination. Sign helps me understand when I miss words; I can't wait until I am fluent enough to be able to understand sign alone.
2. I have two daughters with hearing loss and want them to learn sign.
3. Sign gave me back my worship experience. I was at the point I couldn't understand in church, but now by using ALD's and watching our interpreters, I can follow the sermon. The act of signing during the songs of worship is incredibly moving for me!
4. I know people who sign that are just really cool individuals and I would love to be able to communicate with them in their prefered language!
