Thomas Gallaudet and inspiring him to find a way for her and other deaf people to be able to get a proper education, the deaf might have never had the same opportunities that hearing people have.

This would be a good way to teach Nancy, who has a problem concentrating if she thinks the lesson is boring. An…
