Kate and Me


                Have you ever wondered what another person around you was saying? Or have you lived with a family member that didn’t speak English? Have you ever wanted to learn another language than what you speak English, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, etc. Well, if you have wondered theses things I can help you. I have learned it is easier to learn Sign Language with a reason to.   

         About a year ago, I learned that a girl I know named Kate an 8 yr. old I know, she is deaf. I know her because her mom and my mom are best friends. I see her a lot and, hang out with her and her sister Meigan. She was like a really good friend before I knew she could barely communicate to her mom. I was so sad I thought she was doing great. So I decided I will help her. I will learn Sign Language I will become one of her only friends.

         Next, time I saw her I told her (in Sign) “I will try to learn Sign Language so I can talk to you.” I promised her. Kate looked very happy to have a friend. Who could talk to her when not many people can. So I will learn Sign Language I have never broken a promise and I never will. I will not break my promise to her. Now I can talk to her and I feel like she’s my little sister. We hang out a little twice a week and I might start helping her on her bible verses she has been learning.    

         Every Wednesday I go up to her and ask if she wants a piggyback ride (she usually does). She loves it when I spin her around, and make silly jokes or comments. My life has changed because of this remarkable little girl. She is a blessing from heaven. God put her in my rode of life because he knew she would bless my heart.

         I now know things I never knew about her. Like her favorite color for instance is: purple she loves it and

 wear purple a lot, what she likes to wear: purple clothes, princess clothes, etc. what’s her favorite thing to do: play with dolls, my little ponies, barbies , etc.

         Learning Sign Language was a blessing. I know God planned it.  He has been planning an amazing experience for me and hopefully her too. She has grown in my heart and she is a gift from God to me.
