I decided to learn BSL the moment a post popped up about a BSL course starting. I was extremely shy and didn't talk much during a very difficult childhood, and it's during that time I learned the BSL alphabet. All these years later, the alphabet had stayed in the recesses of my mind, and I feel that learning BSL is a natural step for me. Then I started to think more deeply about it and started to observe all the instances of equality, so here I am, working at improving myself so that I can contribute, where once I couldn't.
