Knowing Randy when he was younger and all, I am so impressed at his ability to express all of this and how he has grown! Good job Randy! KODA Camp touched me in so many ways, and it is so enriching to a KODA or CODA's life. I was a CIT this past summer, and I hope I never stop going back! :) My mom sent me this link, and I’m glad she did!

I simply had that question because he was signing in PSE and was curious. Is PSE in itself bad? No, it is not. Simply the system that allowed it in the first place and <i>that</i> is very complex problem that had been discussed ever since. No, I was simply curious because I have two sons of my own. They are raised by my separated wife but when I visit them, I am wondering what to expect based on general CODAs' experiences. I suspect strongly that since I am no longer a dominant factor in his life that he will learn ASL as a second language and potentially sign PSE. Since I grew up in mainstreamed schools with deaf program where teachers seemingly scoff at ASL and use PSE (attempted SEE) with us deaf children, I grew up with PSE and understand it because I have a strong foundation in English itself. Thank you and apologies for long rambling :). Keep vlogging, all of you family! It is beautiful! I want to be clear that I understood everything Randy said and it fascinated me.

Since we are not very very ASL oriented, ASL and PSE are fine with us!!! Our CODA sons did PSE but not every word and they were able to communicate with us well enough which is important to us!!! You should be proud of him!!! SMile ! Codadiva, your son did very well even tho he used PSE. Since we are not very very ASL oriented, ASL and PSE are fine with us!!!

I will go to Camp Mark Seven this August, Deaf Children week for my second year there! Last year my experience was so fun, I bet this year will be fun, too! I am glad that you enjoyed your days there! It is nice for you to find friends who are KODA, too! I already have deaf friends from my school, MSD but I am glad to have new friends from CM7 who live in other state than Maryland! Cool!

I really enjoyed watching Lisa's vlogs and now you! :) Keep vlogging, ok? I understood you perfectly even though some of your signs not clear. I have not vlogged myself yet, but I can imagine it's stressful being front of a camera. What an interesting/challenging life you have as a koda. What questions do you get about your parent beside that dumb question about the capability of driving cars? :) Thanks for explaining about the camp at Mark 7. Are you able to meet other kodas where you live? Randy, nice to meet you.

Jason was a CIT this summer. He just said it was the best decision to be CIT in a long time. He said he refused to miss every year. His love is out there with all KODA kids. He and all of his friends were at our place since Saturday. Some went home and exhausted. Jason said to me this morning at 3am, saying I will never marry hearing lady, I must marry CODA lady so that way its a lot fun with all families gathering. Speaking of signing, some do sign in ASL, some PSE, some oral and some that fits the family really. The more importantly is to communicate well with everyone in the family that counts more. Again I was blessed with Camp Mark 7 to make KODA kids much more alive and be able to see who they are. Randy, Jason saw your video and he was smiling! Keep it up!!!

I hope there are more opportunities for KODAs like Camp Mark 7. Wish my camp experiences had included water tubing and water skiing! I love those activities so much. I bet the bonding with other KODAs was as precious and invaluable as those activities. Cool. I hope there are more opportunities for KODAs like Camp Mark 7.
