Hello! I wanted to say a few words to introduce myself. My name is Leah and I am Deaf. My kids are hearing and both know English and ASL. I have married a Deaf man who was at a Deaf school while I was mainstreamed (alone). I grew up more familiar with SEE and pidgen sign language than ASL but when I became older, I gained a stronger Deaf identity and became more immersed into that world. I'm also a teacher, having taught ASL for over 15 years. I'm also in a PhD program, so I know, I'm a bit crazy.
I also wanted to mention that IF I have any free time, I tend to read. I used to enjoy drawing and painting but I don't have too much time for that anymore, so it's usually reading, gardening (if it's nice outside), and experimenting in the kitchen. I'm not skilled or anything like that, but I like to try to cook different things, make bread from scratch, that kind of thing.
Anyhow, welcome!
