I just signed up for a continuing education American sign language class.

I'm exploring career ideas, and I'm not sure that interpreter environment would be a good match for me, though my heart is in the right place. I have social and artistic interests, am good with and enjoy learning languages, whenever I've taken a career test, it says I should be an interpreter or translator. But I can also be very nervous, overwhelmed, and irritable in social situations too.

But I'm jumping the gun here. I'm not becoming an asl interpreter. I'm taking an adult ed ASL class that will last 1 month. I will learn if it might be a good match for me or not, as well as learning the language.

I'm still sort of freaking out though. Maybe this isn't the right time. I'm nervous. I have been thinking bout this on n off, but I signed up on a whim.

I was also going to take a program this September on medical billing and coding. It doesn't really interest me.....but it might be calmer and less social. I'd find out if it was right for me. Its a free program for ppl w low income. I've been to the school before though and did not really care for it. They said bc of covid they may not even do the program this Fall.
