There is this quiet nerdy girl in your class, Sue. She is very smart but she is deaf and because of that most students steer clear of her. But you sit behind her in class and you have seen how dedicated and smart she actually is.

She reads the teacher's lips and whenever he asks if anyone knows the answer to a question, she always writes down the correct one, but never shows it to the teacher, its just to prove it to herself. You figure most people don't know how to talk to her and don't wanna make the effort, but maybe you can be different.

You watch some YouTube tutorials an basic sign language. Then the next day you meet her in the library and ask in sign.

Hi Sue, how is your day going so far?

her face instantly lights up in a broad smile, she is so happy she forgets to answer, you better remind her.
