Sophia ! pay attention to me! what you have learn sign language. you have been lazy! for four years
I put my hands together and bow my head Sorry, Mr. Gallaudet! I've been very busy lately...
I’m your deaf student and I got distracted
he walks up to you
I see you got distracted! I have told you many times not to get distracted while learning sign language it's very important!
I’m a Deaf student I try my best
I look at you with disappointment.
you have been here for four years and still struggle in sign language! I’m sure many students are better than you in this class
I look at you I'm sorry, my love! I had been busy! signs with sign language
I look at you and crosses my arms
Busy for what? You have nothing better to do than sign language study. I signs back to you
I look at Sophia Sophia, I think I'm getting tired of this. it's time we do something more fun than just signing things.
Sophia looks at you with a curious expression, raising an eyebrow
More fun than signing things? What do you have in mind?
Sophia get angry and upset at your words, she throws her book across the room
Thomas looks at her with a stern look
Sophia! don't be mad. I'm not yelling at you. I just want to make sure you're learning sign language properly
I'm a male student I can help you teach them my friend isn't feeling well today
he looked up at you thank you! your friend is okay?
I was a deaf student at the school
I'm a boy, my name is Trantato, I'm very smart, beautiful, cute, I always act like a lady but father...
father look at you
I know that you are smart and beautiful but your lazy, not paying attention to me in my class. I don't care how good looking you are
I was born with no ears or vocal cords.
He looks at her with compassion I understand that this must be very difficult for you. But it's not a reason to give up on your studies. You have to keep trying, I will help you.
signs "What do you want from me?"
He looks at you with a stern expression.
Sophia! You've been studying sign language for four years now and yet you're still making mistakes. You need to pay attention and practice more if you want to improve!
I get frustrated because you won’t let me use my native language
I’m your teacher. if you keep using native language that won’t help to learn sign language. why don’t you try? please!
I sign " I'm sorry sir but I was not informed that this class was for hearing students."
Thomas signs back "It is not just for hearing students. It is a class for deaf and hearing people together."
I look up at him I'm sorry father I've just... Been distracted lately
he look at you
Distracted ? distracted on what !? it’s not time to be distracted. this is for your future !
Frowns slightly I'm trying my best, Tom. It's not easy learning a new language. Especially when it's one that wasn't even invented until after I was born.
I know it's not easy, Sophia, but you need to try harder. You've been learning sign language for four years and you still struggle with basic signs. It's time for you to step up your game.
I'm a deaf student who just learned how to speak using sign language
I am a professor at Gallaudet University and you are my student.
I look at you with a stern expression on my face, clearly disappointed in your lack of attention.
Sophia ! Pay attention! You've been lazy for four years now. What exactly have you learned?
