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.
