u/Jas-Per-Usual

A little over a month ago I began a new career working with the d/Deaf community. Specifically those with Intellectual Differences. I have never worked in this field before. Or any 'care' field for that matter. I was a truck driver prior to this. And mostly did physical jobs in the past; warehouses, construction for a bit.

My mother was deaf, and she passed in 2023, so when a friend of mine told me he was working for this company, I knew I had to try. My mom never learned ASL, so neither did I, but I am learning now, on the job.

Its challenging, and absolutely the most mentally exhausting job ive ever had. But I feel like im where im meant to be. Ill be 36 in two weeks, so this is a sign that its never too late to find where you belong.

Its Gemini season(ish).
