50 Days At The Internship

As of you know since you were reading my blog for the first time, I would love to share what I'm thinking and feeling what I have any events. And, I have been working as an intern since September 6th, 2021. And, I'm going to end my internship on Friday. Where is the company I interned at? I think it's a private thing so and I'm regretfully not to say what the company I interned at. Well, I will look like up to below and probably create more shortened. So, I don't need to waste my time writing a long caption as there are unnecessary things to be written.

In the beginning, I didn't think that I was there and interned with the staff who are about of majority hearing and persons with disabilities as well. I was actually had to imagine out that if I intern with hearing people who don't know sign language and Deaf culture, and worst that they don't know how to interact with a Deaf person. That was hopeless. I wanted to work in Jakarta or Semarang that needs more than 30 miles away from my home. But, as Covid-19 restrictions and didn't be permitted by the parents to go away there, I was forced to rechange my plan and I took canceled for the next days. I wanted to finish social service community first before taking an internship. On September first, I'd contacted my staff who we have met a few years ago. She was a nice and friendly person. I've got the service that what I expected by and to her. And, she told me lots of things I get to know. I had jobs with her before thinking and planning to away to the office or company. 

And, on September 3rd, I finally contacted her that I will intern on Monday. And, the first Monday, I entered the office before the staff came, I just didn't know why I was super uplifting to interning with them. What I expected was the place I'm working for the first time, that was just fun and enjoy actually. I got the instructions and jobs list by preparing the staff for me. I read and finished the list that be given. That wasn't hard but just easy and very basic. 

The first week, second week, and third week, I was constantly interned there. I worked there 5 days of 4 offline sessions. That was multiple systems that could be picked up. I took both systems. I took an online day to take a rest and learned by evaluating or practicing. I had a Deaf senior that I've met at the same division. He is a workaholic and dedicated to work and his dream to be. I learned from him and how to make it better. He taught me to learn how to operate Canon 600D and take a photo or a video. That was fun. 

Throughout the work and experience I got,  I just feel unbelievable, fun, glad, honored, and to be appreciated for the opportunity that I had. Because I won't have this chance to work in the workplace where about of majority hearing people who don't know sign language and the laws of persons with disabilities. I know some companies are required to accept at least 2% of disabled prospective workers and the government required at least 1% of disabled prospective workers. But, everything's not all them well and still be discriminated due to any reasons, like if you're a Deaf person who wants to apply for a job and you will be asked to wear a hearing aid and/ or must oral-speaking well (as good as hearing people speak). I was asked like that and I refused, then finally I didn't be accepted and worst, I can't bring a sign language interpreter because they told me that I didn't be allowed to bring an interpreter for an interview. I'm just fortunate to have this company is fully supporting the persons with disabilities rights. I'm comfortable interning and spend with them.   

On the internship final day, what am feeling? I just don't know how to put the words what I wanted to say I'm just fortunate to have everything I had and worked with the hospitality staff I met. What I did is an actual way the best thing ever I did and learned much from this company. I feel I am ready for the other challenges in my eyes. I do hope to keep going whatever I would have. I believe in my dream comes true as soon as quickly or as slowly as possible. I don't know when it comes to me, but I believe in all that happens.

I hope that all companies will accept and treat equally in the community so they can make workers can work comfortably and fully accessible that they needed as required the laws as ordered.

Thank you, everyone! Thanks for having me and giving greatest opportunity that I had to intern in the amazing workplace.

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...
