File me under Nervous and Excited.
I’m going to be taking an intensive American Sign Language course at a local community college starting next week. Learning ASL has been on my Life List for so long, but there always seemed to be a reason that I couldn’t get to it: Law School. The Bar Exam. Babies. Career. But thanks to the big vision of the Go Mighty gals and to the generosity of Olay, the procrastination madness is coming to an end.
And I couldn’t be happier.
I’ve been blogging about 10 of the goals from my Life List on the Go Mighty site for the past few months and, I recently learned that Olay loved my blog post about wanting to learn ASL for my sister and that they wanted to gift me with lessons. I was hype to share the news with my sis who flattered me by saying that I could skip ASL 101 – apparently I’ve picked up more than I realized over the years – and register for the intermediate ASL course. And so I did.
I’m going back to school y’all. And this time, the reward for acing the final exam is priceless.
Disclosure: Olay is covering the cost of the ASL course. Thanks ever so much to Olay for sponsoring this life goal!
That is SO awesome! Congrats….learning ASL is on my list too. I’m sure your sister is elated
i didn’t know that, Nae – awesome. maybe we can practice with each other…
