Language plays a huge role in my life. With language I am able to write, carry a conversation, and express myself. Listening to this podcast also made me remember that I also know sign language. I can communicate in multiple means with certain people. I find language to be the most important for expression in my life. I use it everyday, I use it to explain how I am feeling and how I feel about others. I love to write about my days and reflect on everything I’ve been through. In the past I wasn’t as open with my language as I am now, I limited my words and held in all my feelings and expressions. I was in a bad spot with my language, I wasn’t using it to my advantage. When I decided to finally open up my relationship with my language I started to succeed in life, I was able to get my life into a better spot. When learning sign language, my connection with language was strong. I was understand language better than I had before. I was having fun with language and learning it again, learning it in a different way and through different eyes. Language is important for me now, I have a better relationship with it. In the past I wish I had used more language to react to things, I wish the relationship was better and I wasn’t afraid to use my words. Today I speak freely. I use my words to my advantage and I use them with meaning. Being able to have built up my language through my lifetime is giving me a strong future with my words. I will be able to have the proper communication skills, I could use sign language in certain situations, and be able to write for my future job. I want to be able to use my language with power. To use my words to make a difference, use them to my advantage, to help me succeed in my job. I will forever build my relationship with language until it is the strongest it can be.
