ASL interpreters: What's your story?
ASL interpreters, I'd like to hear your origin story -
Terps have become that way when they have a personal experience with the language. Some are CODAs, some have a Deaf best friend, as well as some who start learning the language and fall in love with it.
Feel free to share with us here your story of why you became an ASL interpreter.
