Stephon stood just a few feet away from Barack Obama. The president, busy 
shaking hands, looked right at him. “It was like he was waiting for me to 
say something,” he said later.

So the 26-year-old Prince George’s Community College student took his cue 
and spoke to President Obama in his first language: American Sign Language. 
“I am proud of you,” Stephon signed. The president, almost involuntary, 
instinctively, immediately signed back.

"Thank you."
