    Im the youngest of my siblings and the only one in my family with a hearing impairment. Born prematurely (1 month) with facial nerve paralysis that affected speech and hearing.

    Funny enough..ive been signing for 30 yrs and still failed an ASL class. Lol. My instructor hated me. He was Deaf and felt i shouldve gone to a Deaf institute instead of being mainstreamed so he made it known that my signs were inferior to his.

    I think sign language should be an option in schools that require a 2nd language be taken.

    I think it should be mandatory honestly.
