Today was a good day. Ruby talked in class about being nationally certified and we were all confused for a bit but it's ok now! I think everyone understands what we are doing. Haha! I am really excited for the upcoming tests to become an interpreter. Weird of me, huh? I have NEVER been so excited to take an exam! I am just excited about everything that has to do with this new Deaf world. My aspiration right now is to work for the government - maybe the FBI. I want to travel and working for the government sounds like a thrill! Plus, like Ruby told me today, I would be making good money. I never want to work only based on the money but I am so happy that I finally found the thing I LOVE most and it will actually support my life! What a plus! Throughout my life, I've gone through so many different options for a career in my head and never have I dreampt I would end up becoming an interpreter!! It is funny how, being a little girl, I wanted to be an actress, I wanted to be a singer, I wanted to be a psychologist, a marriage councelor, and now, the farthest thing from all of those! Haha! But I am sooo so happy. I only hope I can live up to my own expectations. I asked Ruby today if a lot of people fail in the field of interpreting. She said no, but I can't help having that fear. If I don't succeed at this like I want to so desperately, I don't know what I will do... But I know the Lord has a plan to prosper me in everything!!
I am TOO excited to see "Wrong Game" tomorrow with some of the ASL students and Pam. I was happy when she accepted my invitation. Sometimes (it's silly) I worry she thinks, "Stop trying to be my friend, hearing girl!" HAHA!! I have always wondered if hearing people, who try to sign, get on Deaf people's nerves. Maybe I'm stupid?? Hope so.. But I'm glad Ruby recommended her as tutor. She seems really nice and someone I would like to get to know. My only concern is that tomorrow, I will have no idea what happens in the whole movie.. I almost looked up the plot so I would kind of have an idea. But I decided I want to challenge myself and see how much I can understand. (In other words, I'll have to look it up as soon as I get home... hahahaha!)
Thanks for reading~

Good for you. Don't afraid of challenge! Look forward what you think about the film tonight!
Sarah,
You of all people have absoutely nothing to worry about! You are an awesome signer and anyone who looks at you can tell how much you love it. The world could certainly use more of you. Thanks for all your prayers.
your friend
