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______process and found something that has changed my______at college for the better: I discovered ASL-American Sign Language.
I never felt an urge(冲动)to______any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The ______language were enough in all my interactions. Little did I know that I would discover my______for ASL.
The story began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club______their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very idea of communicating without speaking______me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the______. This newness just left me______more.
After that, feeling the need to explore further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL Club's meetings. I only learned how to______the alphabet(字母表)that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my______progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to______those meetings and learn all I could.
The following term, I registered an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was ______. I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. ______if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the ______way of communication it opens.
