This exhibit spoke to me because of the personal attachment I have to people who suffer from disabilities.

In the American sign language when you some signs, such as hurt, you use your facial expression to express different things (life print). If you do not use expressions such as this, you would be seen as someone with an accent of sorts, and because the point of taking a foreign language class is to meet all the standards, one of the…
