While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life,college sets the
stage for that exploration. I myself went through this
41
process and found something that has changed
my
42
at college for the better:I discovered ASL-American Sign Language(
美式手语
).
I never felt an urge to
43
any sign language before.My
entire family
is
hearing,and so
are
all my
friends.The
44
language
were
enough
in
all
my
interactions(
交往
).Little
did
I
know
that
I
would
discover my
45
for ASL.
The
46
began
during
my
first
week
at
college.
I
watched
as
the
ASL
Club
47
their
translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very
48
of communicating without speaking
49
me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the
50
.This newness just
left me
51
more.
After that, feeling the need to
52
further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club`s meetings. I
only
learned
how
to
53
the
alphabet
that
day.
Yet
instead
of
being
discouraged
by
my
54
progress,I was excited. I then made it a point to
55
those meetings and learn all I could.
The following term, I
56
an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was
57
. I
soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant.
58
, if there had been any talking, it would have
59
us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the
60
way of communication it opens.
