How to sign basic year numbers
Divide the 4 digits into two sets of numbers. (Ex: 1984 = sign 19, then move hand slightly to your dom. side before signing 84)
years with 11-15
movement of numbers is not repeated. For numbers 13, 14, and 15, the fingers move outward instead of forward. (don’t repeat movements for 10 or 11 through 15!!)
years beginning with 20
sign the number 20 first, followed by your hand’s slight move to your dom. side before signing the last two numbers. DO NOT TAP WITH THE NUMBER 20)
years ending with 01-09
the final two digits are signed as individual numbers. (ex: 1907. sign 19, then move your hands slightly out from your body on your dom. side to sign 0, then move your hand slightly forward for the 7.) make sure palm faces out for number 0-5
years with 00 in the middle
(ex: 2000-2009): sign 2, then slide your hand out from your body on your dom. side before stopping to give the final number. make sure palm faces out for numbers 1-5.
Greetings and leave takings
SAYING HELLO: (say hello and goodbye when you leave/enter a room). If someone says hi to you, return it (its rude if you don’t, duh). If you know the person and have not seen them for a while, say hello + hug/handshake + “how are you/hows it going?”.
SAYING GOODBYE: make an effort to say goodbye, scan the room as you leave to say goodbye to those who make eye contact with you.

discrimination amongst the Deaf community
Jessica being told she couldn’t be a nurse because she was Deaf and “couldn’t listen through a stethoscope”. She proved them wrong, received her certificate, and graduated highest in her class. **hearing world’s opinions are not informed. they focus on what Deaf people don’t have (hearing) rather than what they do have (intelligence, skills, and experience adapting situations to their needs).
