Truly bizarre, but finding appropriate real-life experiences as called for in the DC outline is not easy. Often the most difficult, the kid must be 'exemplary', which rules out the majority. Also, it needs to be 'profound', which means the stories are going to be stretched nearly to the point of lying.
Sounds like they really wanted to focus on the 'goodness' of her signing for the deaf. Throw in about her 'unbelieving' father... cue sympathy for the poor 'good' girl, and joy at her spending less time with the evil, evil man. And the story about the dying 'dear friend' is most likely a lot of spin. As already mentioned by sir82 and blondie, if she'd really done anything 'good' in caring for the sick girl, they would have said so. But she only got invited to the b-day party, and didn't go. So, somehow they spun that into a good thing. "Um, I can't go to what will probably be your last party because it's against my religion because the Bible says that people get their heads chopped off at birthday parties."
Gag.
