This is a blog highlighting the ups and downs I have faced since finding out I am hard of hearing. It has been a whirlwind journey to sound and I have learned a lot about myself and the prejudices of the world. I am sharing these things in the hopes that maybe it will help someone else feel less alone.

Sworn In...I'm Officially a CASA Worker!!!
I've finished my training and I've done court observation. The only thing that was left to do was to be sworn in by a judge in court. Today that happened! So that officially makes me a CASA. I had to go to a court in Spanish Fork to be sworn in. I am terrible with directions and finding places so I was nervous about getting loss. I made sure to give myself plenty of time to get there and factor in the possibility of getting loss. I had to be there at 4:30pm so I got off work around 2pm. I ended up getting there early, before Leah or Dee arrived. I stood around waiting with the other people who were going to be sworn in also. When Dee arrived we went into the courtroom and it was a quick ceremony of us standing up and raising our right hand and you know the rest. We took a picture with the judge and that was that. I was happy because I could finally start working on case with a child. I could start helping someone. Now all I need is a case. I hope Dee emails with something sooner rather than later.
