　　In the late 1990s，a family visited the school where I taught deaf students.They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader.They were upset that their child's kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her.The teacher painted a bleak(暗淡的)picture for their little girl's future.Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five­year­old girl with long hair and dark eyes.The whole time her parents were there she didn't make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents asked her to do so.

　　After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright child.Although I was able to make her join in different learning activities, writing was always a struggle.I tried all kinds of methods to interest her in writing.Every time the pencils came out, she would refuse to write.

One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school crying.The teachers there did not know enough sign language to ask her what happened.Finally they led her into the office where they handed her a pen and a piece of paper.Katherine wrote: "PAC BAK." Immediately the teachers realized she left her backpack on the bus.They called the bus driver back to school and soon Katherine got her backpack back.
