New/Old
I've spent a few hours going through all 261 of my journal entries and tagging them. This is for future references, so I can find things easier if I need to remember something I wrote.

"Jask?" you say?
"Just Ask," I say!

Back to School
I was looking for a school so I could volunteer for some experience within a classroom when I found the perfect contact person. This woman was a coordinator of the deaf program at an elementary school nearby, and she offered to give me a tour of their school and classrooms. When I first entered the all-deaf kindergarten classroom, I felt like I had ( Read more... )
