The absence of a visual memory made my journey through the sign language interpreter program difficult. We were pushed to visualize everything, and then describe our visualizations. I found myself embarrassed and frustrated. We were asked to create visualizations and rotate through different perspectives of the same scene. It blew my mind that others could do this. I soon came to realize that my visual memory is rerouted through my kinaesthetic memory (the way my body feels when I am somewhere. The “feeling”of it). I realized this when I was asked how I find my keys when they are lost. Well... I think about each room in my house and if it “felt” like I had my keys in there. I felt my way through my course and graduated on the Deans Honour Roll. I’m just wired differently, but it works for me.
