Is it bad--
14 years ago
I hate to see you fly
I love to watch you fall
If you were my anything
You’d be nothing at all
--that I know what I want to do when I grow up, but I have reasons that are kind of... iffy?
What I Want to Do: Be a teacher of deaf children (either teaching sign language or teaching in sign language) in Europe. Specifically in an English-speaking country.
Why I Want to Do it: I'm not sure why, but I get this crazily excited feeling inside me whenever I sign with someone, especially a child. Kids are my favorite kind of people, and my current real-life best friend is a five year-old deaf girl named Rita. She's the most wonderful handful of a girl I have ever met, and she's the one who really got me into signing.
Still, the reason I'm so intent on signing in Europe is the accents. It's a horrible reason, and that's what makes me feel really guilty. And yet, for some reason when I envision myself teaching, it's not in the US. It's in England, or Ireland, or Scotland... I don't know if it's just the accents, though. I also adore all of the Europeans I've met (online and irl), and their customs, mannerisms and food are all incredibly interesting. But yeah, that's why I feel bad about wanting to teach in Europe.
AND, if anyone could elaborate on/direct me to a site about teaching in your European country of choice, I would be eternally grateful.
Love you all. <3
