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 1 process and found something that has changed
my 2 at college for the better: I discovered ASL—American
Sign Language(美式手语).
I
never felt an urge to 3 any sign language before. My
entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The 4 languages were enough in all my interactions(交往). Little
did I know that I would discover my 5 for ASL.
The 6 began during my first week at college. I
watched as the ASL Club 7 their translation of a song. Both
the hand movements and the very 8 of communicating without speaking 9 me. What I saw was completely
unlike anything I had experienced in the 10. This
newness just left me 11 more.
After
that, feeling the need to 12 further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL
club's meetings. I
only learned how to 13 the alphabet that day. Yet
instead of being discouraged by my 14 progress, I was excited. I then
made it a point to 15 those meetings and learn all I could.
The
following term, I 16 an ASL class. The
professor was deaf and any talking was 17. I soon
realised that the silence was not unpleasant. 18,
if there had been any talking, it would have 19 us to learn less. Now, I
appreciate the silence and the 20 way of communication it opens.
