Hi, my name is Nadeema and I’m just starting my journey in learning ASL. I’m a complete beginner. Like I don’t even know the basics yet but I truly want to learn..
Two years ago, I had ear surgery when i faced some hearing problems and i gain back my hearing after that surgery. But recently, I’ve started experiencing hearing loss again. The doctors told me I might need to go through the same surgery, but I also know that this may keep happening. It’s emotionally and financially heavy, I don’t want to keep depending on expensive treatments or be a burden to those around me.. and also I’ve reached a point where I feel like, if this is what life is offering or god is giving, maybe I should accept it with strength and prepare myself.
That’s why I want to learn ASL..not only because I may lose my hearing permanently someday, but also because I believe sign language is one of the most beautiful forms of communication. I don’t want to feel like I’m disappearing from the world..I want to connect, express, and live fully, even if it’s in silence..
I’m hoping to find kind people here who will help me step by step.. I don’t want to feel alone. I really hope I can be part of this community and learn with your support.. And yeah here I'm with an open heart, ready to learn..
Thank you for being here.
