Dang Economy!!

To get into college, I have been told that I need at least two language credits, of the same language of course. I chose sign language, it may seem easy, but let me tell you it is not. At orientation I visited my classes for the first time, this was back in August, and I can remember clearly my first impression. She scared me. My teacher told us about how sign language would not be easy, and how by the first Thursday of that first week of school we would not talk. I was worried about that for the rest of my summer vacation. She explained to us freshman that by the end of the year our class would be a family, and she explained to our parents that she would consider us her children. I can say now, eight months later, that she held true to her word, and it saddens me even more to get the news today that she has been given her pink slip. The economy, a recession, even worse, a depression: all things we have been hearing a lot of over the past few months, and they are all things that never entered my mind. Now, six hundred teachers in my district are not returning for my sophomore year. My ASL teacher is one of those six hundred. This, is a reality check for me. This economic thing, is serious. I will be sad to see my most honest teacher not return next fall. In fact, it aggrivates me, to the point where all I can say is: dang economy!!
