Dactylology——the power of silence A
When I was 12 years old,I was chosen to act my classmate's grandma whom is blind.Our teacher wanted to show how my classmate cared about her blind grandma and at the same time,she kept on studying very well.That was my first time to be a unnormal person.In order to act naturally,I narrowed my eyes nearly closed them.But it's still hard to move--even I could see everything.Therefore,I was thankful that" I am completed".Since then,I am caring more about the disabled people.
When I was 20,I have a part-time job during my university time.It's in Mcdonald.I am responseble for ordering.One day,not long after my working there,a young girl with a boy came in and the girl went straight to my counter ,then she gerstured she wanted to read our menu.I can't understand firstly.She gerstured like drawing a rectangle in the air again and again.I were a little bit angry that why she cannot speak out what she wants.After a while,I sent her the menu and she pointed out the things she need.During the whole process--order to prepaired,she didn't say any word.That was rush time now and what she did was acturelly a waste of time.
As I was not so busy,I looked around and suddently saw the girl and the boy sitting by the window.They gerstured for each other.They cannot be able to speak.I was shaked and felt shameful for what I thought about her just now. What they only want here was just to have a nice dinner and a happy talk.Even though it seemed like they got,I still considered she was hurted by me--my expression.So I stared at her till she felt it.The only thing I could do was just smile and smile.To my surprise, she answered me with a smile and then concentrated on her talking.
Since that happened to me,I started to pay close attention to dactylology.That night was quietest in my Mcdonald life.I just saw them waving their hands and moving their fingers.I was addicted to this scene--the two people were earnest to each other when whomever "spoke".
