I think one of the best things that I'll never let down is the one time I was signing to my deaf friend in high school, and we were going opposite directions to get to where we needed to go. A friend of mine came up to me and said, ''Hey, isn't this your deaf friends thing?" It was a badge, and was indeed his. I started sprinting in his direction, and I saw him at the end of the hallway about to make a turn. I yelled his name, but then realised, and said out loud, ''Shit, he can't hear me'' as I passed by a group of 4-5 teachers in a classroom by the door. They heard me and proceeded to start laughing.
