Hello, all. My name is KatyLou_371, and I’ve been teaching myself ASL for about 5 years. It was love at first sign. I have wanted to be an interpreter since I started learning the language. My plan is to go back to school and become certified. 

I don’t have much experience with Deaf Culture, but I know a good bit of textbook information about it. I have had several interactions with Deaf people, including customers, who I have interpreted for, to take and order. Since I don’t have many interactions with the Deaf, I don’t have my Sign Name yet. 

I'm not sure exactly where I want to interpret, or what kind of environment I want to work in; I just know in my heart it’s something I’m destined for. I can’t see myself happy in any other career field.

I do have some questions for anyone who is advanced in ASL, and would greatly appreciate any answers.

Hey Katy! My name is Skylar, I have been signing for about three years self taught and now in college taking classes to be an interpreter. Just like you I fell in love with signing when I first started. I find the language beautiful and love being immersed in it. I have met a lot of deaf people from going to events and interact with deaf people regularly so I do have my sign name. My plan is to transfer to a school where they have a strong interpreter community as well as Deaf community. I would love to get to know you and sign with you. My email is [email protected] 

 

Feel free to email me anytime.

      Signs you're not getting enough sleep

      By addisonjones · Posted

      Many people overlook how lack of rest affects their daily functioning, and noticing subtle changes can help identify Signs you're not getting enough sleep before the effects become more serious. Feeling unusually irritable, moody, or emotionally sensitive is often one of the first indicators that your sleep cycle is disrupted. Difficulty concentrating, forgetting small details, or struggling to stay focused during conversations may also show that your brain isn’t getting enough restorative time. You might find yourself relying heavily on caffeine just to feel awake, or drifting into microsleep episodes where you nod off unintentionally. Physical symptoms like constant yawning, morning headaches, or dark under-eye circles can become persistent. Many people also experience a drop in motivation, reduced productivity, and slower reaction times, which can affect both work and daily tasks. Over time, poor sleep can weaken the immune system, making you more prone to colds or infections. Increased appetite, especially cravings for sugary or high-carb foods, may also signal hormonal imbalance caused by sleep deprivation. If these signs appear regularly, improving your sleep habits or seeking medical advice can help restore energy, mood, and overall well-being. Visit here : Royalpharmacart

      How To Use Viagra for Best Results

      By addisonjones · Posted

      Using Viagra effectively involves understanding how timing, health factors, and lifestyle habits influence its performance, and many men search for the best ways to optimize results without complications. When incorporating How To Use Viagra for Best Results into your routine, it helps to take the medication about 30–60 minutes before s*xual activity so it has enough time to absorb and reach maximum effectiveness. Avoid taking it with heavy or fatty meals, as these can slow absorption and reduce its impact. Alcohol should also be limited because it can weaken erections and interfere with blood flow. S*xual stimulation is still required for the medication to work properly, so creating a relaxed and comfortable environment is important. Men with underlying health conditions should consult a doctor to determine the safest dose and frequency, especially if they take medications that affect blood pressure. Staying hydrated, managing stress, and maintaining overall cardiovascular health can also improve response. Consistency and patience help, as some men may need a few attempts before noticing full benefits. Visit here : Royalpharmacart
