My friends and I went to the Deaf Nation Expo in Alameda County Fair Pleasanton, last October 10, Saturday. We lined up as the members are preparing to let us all in.

I really think that people should at least learn about Deaf community and some of their important signs. The outside world know there are Deaf people but just doesn't know much about them and they are part of the world too. I'm glad I took this class because one day I will be a nurse and I can be of help of someone in the Deaf community and if I get really good at it I can be their voice as
