And now I study

kinda....First I'm gonna write.



Today, I met a deaf boy. Kobe (Koh-bee), is an adorable little 10 year old with the cutest expressions I've ever seen!
I was running late to sign language today, and considered maybe just staying home. I decided it was a bad habit to start, so I would go and just have to feel guilty. I got to class, and there was a little boy sitting in the front, with my professor and a young woman roughly my age. 
I took my seat, and took out my book, my pencil and my notes. I put away my phone and looked up to see what was about to be presented to the class today.
I quickly picked up on Kobe being deaf, he was a rapid signer! The girl with him was his sister, and I was picking up little bits of their conversation (at a very slow pace) and pieced together that he dropped into class because his older cousin was a student and asked him to come.


This little beautiful boy was so cheerful and he signed so flawlessly! I only remember ever meeting one other deaf person in my life, and I had always been interested in communicating with her; learning please, thank you, sorry, how are you etc.-but now that I could understand what was going on, I just had to let everything out.
I cried! I sat and cried in class seeing Kobe signing to his sister and to Dr. Gordon, it was honestly one of the most amazing things I have seen in my life.
I sat in class, watching and signing and asking questions. I felt so RIGHT!
I am at a loss for words as to what I felt in the short hour and fifteen of class today, it was just so amazing and lovely to watch all of it.
The rest of my day has been pure bliss, untouched by the things that have been getting me down all week.
I know that this is becoming one of my passions, truly, and I cannot wait to see where I go with this. I love love love talking to people, all people. I just feel like everything is finally taking off in a good direction, and I'm so relieved.



Big breath in, big breath out.
Phew
today was great.
I can't wait to see Kobe again
I'm not scared to be old and deaf
