I've never written a blog before so this might be a bit awkward, just bear with me and I'm sure things will get better..!
My name is Piper and for my 20-Time project I have decided to learn sign language. In the future, I am interested in getting an education degree, and I believe that knowing sign language would be a great tool to possess. It would allow me to be a special education teacher if I wished, or would just help me understand others better. Also, communication is not my strong suit and is something I would like to work on. I think that learning sign language would give me some perspective on how to effectively communicate with others.

By the end of this project, I hope to be able to have a minute and a half (weird time length, I know) conversation with someone else who can sign. Each week I will watch tutorials, informational videos, and do anything else that will help me learn how to sign.
After my initial research I found a great source that I think will help me tremendously throughout the whole process (http://www.lifeprint.com/asl101/lessons/lessons.htm). There are a bunch of different lessons, videos, and sample sentences that I can use to practice, along with tips on how to learn and retain the information.
Though, it will be a difficult and long process, I am super excited to learn sign language and am ready to work hard!
