The 21th Letter: Might 2020 is Difficult Year in My Life?

In January, I had been going to Malang to joining Youth Disability Advocacy. I was happy and enjoyed all in Malang. I still remembered that the hotel room has a hot shower and an international television. I could enjoying it all in the room. I was going to cafe which we meet Deaf people at Deaf time. This was only the best memory in 2020.

In February, I was selected to fly to Bangkok to attend Youth Indonesian delegates in Bangkok, Thailand on March 26-29. But, because of pandemic, we canceled to fly to Bangkok. I was crying to hear that bad news although it is for the first time in my life is go to foreign country. I never go there before.

In March to September, I'm self quarantining. I facing a lot of problems. Pressure, depression, stress, and feel sick of mental. My eyes was drift and dizzy. I feel cannot do it to continue my life in this year. I really don't know I must do to.

It was crazy for me. And even, I must be controlled by psychologist. But, I had accepting a lot of messages on social media. My friends sent pray, motivation, advice, until tips to me. I saying thanks so much to them.

And now, I will try to think positive things and reduce negative thinking. I will try to continue my life in this year. I hope I will health and stay strong. I hope pandemic will passes away. I have three months again to finish in this year. I hope I will be fine and finish it all as well.

Thank you, everyone!

Apakah Anda Sungguh Berpikir Bahwa Orang Tuli Tidak Bisa Belajar Bahasa Inggris? (Terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia)

Sumber:https://www.fitriananda.com/2020/08/ayo-belajar-bahasa-inggris-seru-loh_19.html Sebagai orang Indonesia yang terlahir sebagai orang Tuli tidak akan pernah mudah. Ada banyak stereotipe tentang orang Tuli, seperti bodoh, bahasa isyarat adalah bahasa Tarzan, tidak ada masa depan, bisu, tidak sempurna, berdosa, dll. Dan juga, banyak orang dengar berpikir bahwa bahasa isyarat tidak dapat membantu orang Tuli untuk belajar untuk menulis dan berbicara.

Why Are Men Less Interested in Learning Sign Language?

Source: Why Great Sign Language Interpreters Are So Animated https://cdn.theatlantic.com/media/mt/food/g1%20615.jpg As a sign language teacher, I would notice that so many women are more interested to learn sign language than men. All my classes tend to be dominated by women. I don't know why it happens. We discussed how to recruit more male prospective students in our class but it was tough to find it and still accept the dominated women. For example, a class has 20 students consisting of only 3 men and 17 women. I was reading two websites that linked wondering about what women are more interested to learn sign language than men. There were just opinions and not research. I taught students of the fifty-fifty by 2 women and 2 men of 6 students and it was in 2021 when we limited the students' quota due to pandemics. That was far fair in my teaching experience. I have never seen all male-dominated in my sign language class. You can read the links here: https://www.reddit.com/r/a...
