He has hearing impairment, despite the handicapped, it did not stop him from entering college. Many of his peers in college didn't realise it, nor did he attempts to cover up for his deficit with hearing aids. He hardly joined any conversation as he can't catch the contents. Nor did he care about what is going on. It look so evident that he probably going to be a loner for his college days. It was free speech day. Everyone in the class is invited to give a speech on a topic of their choice. Most topic were horribly shallow, it was not so much of a content. He probably give each speaker 30 second of grace before he switched off (partially because they were speaking too fast for him). Topics such as networking, soccer tactics or even staying young simply do not appeal to him. Suddenly a low profile gal whom like him, a soft spoken character stood up, she wants her 5 minutes of fame too. Fair enough. But she didn't talk. She began her speech with a series of hand signals. "I am deaf. But I can still talk to you." "How does it feel like to be deaf?" He sat up. Finally, he has seen something which interest him. It is as if the girl knows his predicament. It didn't matter. The fact that she knows sign language was already enough to catch his attention. It showed who she really is, someone who really has the heart to go out of her way and be there for others.
