While high school does not generally encourages 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. 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 discovered 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 been any talking, it would have _59_ us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the _60_ way of communication it opens.
