Q : What inspired you to teach American Sign Language ( ASL )?
A : Many people are oblivious to the fact that everyone uses sign language to communicate non-verbally . Have you ever seen someone gesture to say someone else is crazy , they are sleepy , let ’ s go or indicate they want something to drink ?
ASL is a beautiful language . It is an artistic visual language . It is not monkey sign language ; that is a myth . The gift of using our hands to communicate our thoughts and feelings is a wonderful gift from God . Teaching ASL has always been one of my greatest passions . As a result , I became a teacher and developed a passion for languages . As far as monology , phonology , semantics , and syntax are concerned , ASL linguistics follows the same rules as English linguistics .

Q : What makes you happy ?
A : I love that question ! Love has taught me to live . Life has shown me how to love . To be happy , all I need is a dose of gratitude and ability and remember to not compare myself with others . My tagline for The Angela Lynn Show is ‘ Everyone Has a Story on Their Uncertain Path to Positive Success ”. For me , happiness encapsulates the concept , “ Be the Change You Want to See ”.
