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.

Terjemahan: Apa yang Anda Pikirkan Tentang Deaf Power?

Deaf Power mempromosikan sejarah, bahasa, dan nilai-nilai komunitas Tuli di seluruh dunia. Sebagai kedua bahasa dan simbol, itu akan menyebarkan kebanggaan budaya kami . (Sumber: www.deafpower.me oleh Christine Sun Kim dan Ravi Vasavan). Mengapa saya menulis Deaf Power di blog saya? Saya seorang Tuli dan pengguna bahasa isyarat, saya memiliki banyak pengalaman dan momen tentang identitas Tuli.

Gloss, A Forgotten Learning Foreign Language and Translate

I was testing a student who stood up to share her short story in signs in our class. She was so good at signing despite sign language being the third language that she is learning and isn't a native speaker. She was confused about gloss or glosa in Indonesian. That's the thing that is most often forgotten when learning and translating a foreign language. Foreign language teachers almost never teach about gloss to students and yeah, I am sure some do and some do not.  The Gloss (Gr) means when a word is attached to a sign in simple terms. It refers to the way that ASL (American Sign Language) names signs in order to give a sense of the meanings behind them. A word or word that represents that sign does not signify its meaning in any way (source: What Are Glosses in Sign Language/  https://www.ilovelanguages.com/what-are-glosses-in-sign-language ). A gloss happens because it causes when a student who learns a second language but their mind that used to be a native language as bo...
