My experience on Friday was a struggle, but I was able to get through it. One of the hardest times was when I was trying to communicate to a teacher that I had lost my paper and needed a new one. Since I couldn't talk, she did not understand and I just gave up and sat down defeated. I never got the paper, but both I and the teacher were very frusterated. I greatly appreciate being able to talk now more than I did!
I agree..I now value talking a lot more than I used to. Speaking is essential to getting our point across.
ReplyDeleteI too, found it extremely frustrating! I think it's pretty safe to say that most of us never give a second thought to what we say, and take our words for granted.
ReplyDeleteThe same type of thing happened to me. Without talking we lose many opportunities, for instance, in a class of mine I had a question about what we were learning and as hard as i tried to act out my question, it was impossible. I still don't know the answer to my question. like you said, "I greatly appreciate being able to talk now more than I did!"
