Sign language to communicate
When my mom was in kindergarten, she met a boy who could not speak and had bad hearing. He was a shy boy and was considered an outsider since no one but the teacher was able to properly communicate with him. So my mom one day tried to talk to him but he didn't understand. From that day on, she went to the library everyday and checked out books on sign language until she was able to do it properly. Soon they became very good friends, and now he is a very loving father. My father asked my mother to marry her on prom night, and they lived the most happiest life ever - and then they had me.
