Rule 285
One day I told my grandpa “I can’t…” he stopped me and said, “nothing is imposssible if you have three tools:
1. Blood in your veins;
2. Breath in your lungs; and,
3. A thought in your head.
Which one are you telling me you’re missing?”

Interpret for four and a half hours alone? If I’m alone, I don’t even want to do something that feels good for over two hours.
Rule 283
A world of Deaf with PhD’s cannot be served by a world of interpreters with high school diplomas.
Shout out to Vanessa Bishop.
Rule 282
Be actively engaged in developing the field of interpreting.
Rule 281
“You’re signing that wrong! because my ASL teacher/a random Deaf person taught me the sign is like this,” should be a slappable offense!
