Freedom of speech
My first post comes on a day when I am appreciating and valuing speech more than ever before. Yesterday I lost my voice as part of a viral thing, and can’t speak above a whisper. While my husband and kids are probably thrilled, I’m less than thrilled. Actually, extremely frustrated. I think people probably I pass in the hallway perceive me as anti-social since they say hello and I just smile. Thankfully I have a phenomenal class of students who were very understanding today, helped translate my whispers (I know, I’m not supposed to be even whispering), and allowed us to have a great class despite my being mute.
