Skills
Rachel wants to practice these two skills that are extra hard for her ten minutes every day for the next three months. History podcasts are a great way to develop these skills for English-to-ASL interpreting.
What are fingerspelling and numbers?
RID requires 8.0 of these in the span of four years. Rachel wants to make a plan how to start collecting them over the summer.

Regularly asking for this from colleagues and clients will improve Rachel's interpretations.

Rachel plans to continue to volunteer for this San Diego institution for at least one morning/week for the next year.
