How Does Impact Me as a Deaf Person Mentally and Emotionally?

I was born to hearing person but I was being a Deaf person when I was five years after birth. The one thing was usually what was supposed to do it for my recovery that checked out to the hospital. Then, my parents who are hearing people but they don't know about Deaf as well. In the facts that saying almost 90% of Deaf people are from hearing family (source: Surya Sahetapy's speech over Zoom). And the 90% of one my parents included. So, you absolutely know how I felt and fought as a Deaf person growing up without sign language and Deaf culture. I got realized that what is kind of an identity as a Deaf person since I was about to high school in 2016, which the best friend invited to meet with Deaf employees who worked for my first interpreter, Bias. They changed me as well and how worth it in my life as a Deaf person. 

How did long needed to be found self-identity as a Deaf person? I think that was years and times that I didn't know how much I had. I had many problems and so often argued with my parents. Miscommunication is the thing that would be happen as always. I think is kind of "daily food" for Deaf people over the world. I got it in 2016, then I started to fighting the Deaf rights in Indonesia. You know that I was too smart at being an activist, but I wasn't all it yet. I just learn more to be better. I reminded that I wanted to suicide, because of high frustration in my life that anybody never understand me, what I spoke and what I wanted. And, even, Deaf friends who were being a friend with me as leaving me as fast as long I didn't know exactly. So, I was alone and left my last note, I jumped out and tried to jump for a second. However, He sent someone pulled me. Well, I stop to continue how I felt. No more, I just don't want to. Just skip.

I have my friend who is an American, she is Deaf tho, like me. She is from South Carolina (I hope I will meet with her soon, as I afford as I fight, hopeful). She told me that she had a problem with her parents also are hearing people, and her job at cafe, where she always get miscommunication with hearing employees. I feel what she felt. But, I think she's lucky because she is an American, where the United States is one the Deaf-exampled country in the world (Indonesia included, because the government adopted ASL (American Sign Language) then modified being a sign-system, like PSE or SSE but unrecognized by the Deaf community in Indonesia and also the United States). America has a Deaf university (Gallaudet University, Washington, DC) and a Deaf town (Rochester, New York). But, she doesn't live in two towns, but she wants to move to DC or Rochester. I fully support of her dream. She changed my life. And, also, my best friend who is an Indonesian. I just had to be grateful.  Thank you, my best friends!

Back to self-identity, I would always think what should I do to survive. I rely on Him. That is only I had. I don't know what happens to me, I just want to survive and change my life as well. I found myself as being a Deaf person. I'm proud of that what I made of. It depends on how am I feeling. I'm going to be fine. I will alive until my dream comes true.

I just have no idea to write out on this caption, I just write when I have free time after I finished my homework. Anyways, stay safe everyone! Thank you!

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. Sebaliknya, membaca bibir yang diyakini banyak orang dengar dapat membantu orang Tuli untuk menyesuaikan kehidupan masyarakat dengar secara standar. Seperti halnya Alexander Graham Bell adalah pendiri telepon, saya tidak yakin karena sejauh ini saya tahu bahwa dia mencuri telepon yang diklaimnya. Dia membenci bahasa isyarat karena menurutnya bahasa isyarat tidak dapat membantu orang Tuli untuk menulis bahasa Inggris dengan baik. Saya akan menjelaskan sejarah singkat Tuli tentang apa yang terjadi warisannya yang mengerikan untuk gener...

How Deaf People Experience Music?

Source: Drooble The Blog Fell the vibe: How deaf people experience music and create music When I was at the International English Center, I listened to music on my white earphone, my friend asked me, "How do you experience music?" This was a good question because hearing people think that Deaf people can't listen to music.  I answered, "Yes, I do!" How can it be? Here's I want to share how Deaf people experience music.  Deaf people can do anything except can't hear you know. Music is kind of identical to people who can listen to and sing. So, how can Deaf people experience music?  Firstly, we must always be grateful to God because we are born to have a modern-technology and it makes our life become easier and more accessible. My cellphone has Spotify-- which features lyrics so I can listen to music by singing the lyrics. Musixmatch also has the same feature. And, I can feel how it sounds will be like loud, medium, or soft, and what kind of sound I listen...

Why Should A Deaf Person Lives On A Hearing World?

As continued in previous writing titled "Am The Only Deaf Person", I want to speak on why should a Deaf person lives on a hearing world.  This is would be interesting because you know that none of many Deaf populations as much as hearing people have. Hearing people are bigger than Deaf people. Living as a Deaf person isn't easy, even for a hearing family who has Deaf children. Many hearing people do not know sign language. Only hearing people included a Deaf ally and maybe only 5% of the hearing people know sign language.  Which are least 10% of Deaf people who have studied at a mainstream school and as a bit of raised in the hearing world in all their life. As Surya-who was a Deaf panelist on Zoom- said that there are 90% of hearing families who have Deaf children and I can say only 4% of hearing families admitted to want to learn or teach sign language as a first language to their Deaf children. Everything can't change but Deaf people can be living on a hearing worl...
