Reflect on this experience: What have you learned about yourself (about your interests, your motivation and habits)?
Looking back on this I have realized that I really do love ASL and I really do love doing the interpreting process. Over these weeks I have really come to love playing music and thinking in my head how this song would look if it was interpreted. I am constantly doing this for example, I will listen to music while cleaning, showering, walking, when I am driving (but I will only sign with one hand), and I will jam out to songs I love to listen too. I have also really grown an appreciation for watching other people sign. I love watching Deaf creators on YouTube and their ASL covers to Songs. For example I love watching Sarah Tubert on YouTube and her interpretations of songs from Hamilton the play. In general I really like Broadway music though I have only had the chance to seeing a play on Broadway once. I fell in love with it pretty quick. I also discovered that I am motivated to doing things I like or have an interest in. When I was practicing these songs it didn't feel like homework. It felt like I was just having fun! I have learned that I am very quick to try to suppress hard things in my life. It is so easy for me to give up and move on but I should have this mentality because I really do like ASL and interpreting and I think I am sort of good at it!
