#whyisign Hello I am Kaitlyn Ikenouye and I am an anthropology and sign student at the University of Northern Colorado. Growing up I always thought that signing was interesting. When I finally took an ASL class in college I thought that it seemed like something that would be a fun and easy class. Now that I am in ASL 4 I have fallen in love with the language and culture. Also all the time on I see stories about how helpful it is to learn sign language can be. It adds communication that many deaf and hearing people don’t have. I’m glad that I can communicate with a large number of people. now I suggest to all my friends to try out ASL. I am proud to be an ASL student.
