COMPASSION GOES BEYOND
8 D WHAT YOU HEAR - CREATIVE
WRITING

I walked through the doors on the first day of
school. You would expect the noise, the chatter,
the excited footsteps and the laughter to fill my
ears. Except I could not hear anything because I
was deaf.
I made my way to my classroom and the
introductions began. Calm down. I have
practiced this. My name is Aanya and I am very
happy to be here, that was all I had to sign. Surely
somebody would understand me, right? Nobody
did. I had to write my name on the board.
I tried not to look at the whispering class and
sank back to my chair. I ate alone at lunch, until
Sarah came to sit with me. She asked if I could
teach her sign language so she could talk to me. I
passed her notes with explanations while
demonstrating the basic gestures. After lunch,
we continued doing this in class. She was a
funny, kind and a quick learner. I soon realized I
was very lucky to have a friend like her.
