| Live animals are a bit complicated, but the right one will always be with you. I have a border collie. I can run with him, sleep with him, even have a conversation with him. We move as one. I may never connect with a human on that level. |

| I don't have any suggestions as far as the actual work; that you should be able to do regardless, and will be the primary basis for proving your mettle .

College classes move much faster than grade school, and I couldn't keep up. I have always had trouble waking up. I am ... |

The internet doesn't move at your speed. You should have posted this a week ago, when people could have time to actually help.
Aren't there any other ways to get online? Library? Free wifi? Even paid wifi? |

| Sounds like he was a friend to all. It also simplifies conversation, especially for people who don't know the details. There was a scout in my troop who died, and I'd only talked to him a few times, but the whole troop showed up at his wake and saluted the casket on the way out, me included. |

I took an ASL class in college. Didn't complete it for various reasons, but I did learn the basics. I wouldn't be the first choice as a translator, as my vocabulary is very limited, but I could hack it out.
Sign languages also vary by region. ASL is used in US and Canada only. |
