Good news! One of the suspects involved in her shooting has turned himself in. (Seriously, good for him. It was the right thing to do.) They are still looking for her accused killer, Adarus Black, who is pictured in the article. (He is not the young man pictured on the article title.)

If anyone knows the location of Mr. Black, please contact the Akron Ohio police department or the Akron Crime Stoppers tip line.

Hi, I’m Wynter, I’m Deaf and fluent in ASL (American Sign Language). I get a lot of people telling me they want to learn to sign, but not knowing exactly where to start. So, I am here to provide that!

Let’s start off with some basics, though. ASL does NOT follow English grammar (Signed Exact English/SEE does, but it is not ASL), it only uses English words and a lot of the communication with singing is done via facial expression and body language. Basically, it goes in the order of time > topic > comment. For example, “ I am going to pet dogs next week” would be “next week dogs me pet”, but there are quite a few variants and every person who signs will have a different way of doing this. Sort of how people who speak English in different parts of America have an accent and different ways to sign things. The most important thing to note about ASL is that *American* Sign Language is not universal. Most languages have their own form of SL and a lot of the word signs/alphabets are not at all the same. Another note, learning SEE may seem easier at first, but it can actually make the transition to ASL grammar that much more difficult. An example of differing signs is BSL (British Sign Language) vs ASL. 

This is the BSL finger alphabet:

And this is the American one:

So while there is a small bit of crossover, it is very, very different! Don’t get me wrong, a lot of times signers will understand each other at least a little bit, but it does need to be noted that signs can differ by language, country, region, and sometimes person.

If you want a safe place to learn sign language (including ASL), I have created a Discord called Sign Language Learners! Come join and learn with other learners, Deaf/HoH people, and those curious kids who just want to know how the Deaf communicate.

To my brothers and sisters in Christ, whose fathers have left them feeling unloved and abandoned, I pray that today you will remember how very much your Heavenly Father loves you. You have a Father who will fight for you, died for you, who never breaks His promises and promises to never leave you or forsake you. He knows your every sorrow; every tear you have cried, He holds in His hand. You are his highest treasure, his precious child, his beloved creation, and every galaxy has been writ in the sky to show just how much He adores you. I know it’s hard, but today is not a day of heartbreak, for you are a child of the King! :)
