A Few Friendly Faces

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

I started with my new sign language students today, and it went extremely well!
As I mentioned yesterday, I was a little nervous going into this first class this morning. You just never know what's going to happen when meeting new students. Everyone seems excited about starting the classes when I'm talking with them ahead of time, but it's hard to tell how 'into it' they will be when the classes actually start. Sometimes the parents are excited, but the children don't really want to learn. Sometimes when they realize that signing isn't as easy to pick up as they thought it would be, adults get frustrated and get less excited.

Today, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the adults and children I met were all ready and willing to put in the hard work and effort it takes to learn the new language. An even better bonus was that the children picked up the letters really easily! I was so surprised, because the letters especially can be hard for little hands to form. I can already tell that this is going to be a great session and I'm looking forward to seeing what else they can pick up.

In addition to being excited and picking up the signs pretty easily, this new group of students happened to be friendly and welcoming, and I'm happy to be getting to know them. It's nice to have a few new people to talk to each week, even if it's just conversing during our lessons. It's amazing that I've been in Florida for over nine months and the only people I ever get to talk to are my fellow Cast Members at work. I miss seeing my friends. I miss, even with my anxiety, being forced into talking to classmates at college when working on projects. Sure, I only spoke about the project, and it was usually just after someone else had started the conversation, but at least I had some interaction....

I guess I just wish that I could move my friends down here too, and have exactly the same life I had in New York, just in the warm weather. I guess you just can't have everything though, can you?

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
