    ASL sounds like an interesting class that I would like to take in the future. It’s important that all students have the opportunity to learn, so I’m glad that Acellus has added this class.

    Acellus has ASL now? That is exciting! My mother wants me to learn American Sign Language. She says that people who are hearing impaired deserve to have the same social experience we all have when we go to public spaces. She says ASL should be required learning in school. I agree, but I’m not sure it’s easy to learn.

    I truly commend you on taking on a task and bringing your idea to a reality with your first invention. Is there a very small percentage of people who attempted to bring their ideas to reality that actually made it through compared to the amount of people who gave it their all but just gave their all just to fail? i ask because it seems so impossible for the average person like me to actually have an idea go from idea to then being a sold and wanted bc your invention became reality.

    It’s interesting that people learn sign language and can use it to communicate like those of us who speak fluently. I could never imagine being able to speak a second language like that!
