I started at Pioneer, so it’s kind of been nice because the kids here have been amazing…. They have welcomed me, which I know is not always easy when you’re replacing another teacher. The staff has been great too. Anytime I have questions they’ve been here to help me, and even the principals have been really helpful here. [When it comes to] teaching, ASL is my first language. It’s my whole culture, it’s my whole life, it’s my whole being. I’m a CODA, meaning child of deaf adult. Both of my parents are deaf, so there are days I go to work, and it doesn’t even feel like I’m working because I’m teaching something I love so much.
