Mentor? Check!

After calling at least 7 phone numbers from the Napa County Office of Education, someone called me back and gave me the number to my mentor. I called her, we talked, and met up on Thursday after my class. It was great. She was super helpful. I think this project is going to be a great learning experience.

Our conversation mainly circled around what we could do, what she was supposed to do, looked over my letter of intent, and made another time to meet up. She even talked about how she works with young kids who have hearing disabilities. I thought this would be so interesting and a great experience because I really want to work with kids (hence my internship at Kaiser). I was so happy to hear that she was willing to take on this project with me given that's I'm sure she's got lots to do already.

I'm so excited!! I need to get my hands on some ASL books to get myself ready and just prepared. I borrowed a children's book from my neighbor and one of my friends has a textbook of ASL. I think just reading it and practicing it will definitely get me going.

This project is going to be a blast!!
