A few days ago, I got a morning shocking news was that a Stanford captain, goalkeeper, and a native of California, Katie Meyer has died by suicide in on-dormitory. She suffered depression after fearing possible punishment by Stanford for her action with her teammate (source: https://nypost.com/2022/03/04/katie-meyer-faced-possible-discipline-from-stanford-parents-say/). I just couldn't believe she is gone at very young, at the age of 22. I saw her soccer plays on Youtube. She made two penalty kick saves to help Stanford win an NCAA Championship (students sports competitions in the United States) at women's soccer in 2019. She was the best and potential goalkeeper in the future, and even she could have played for USWNT/ United States Women's National Team (women's soccer national team) or the NWSL (women's soccer professional league in the United States). This is extremely terrible, I'm going to pray for her and thought about the Meyer family. Just wish she is in peace and be an angel.

Education of health mental for the public is seems going not to be easy. People would be thinking of the first hearing of depression as saying "they just aren't close to God", "they have faithless", "they should believe in God", "they are sinful", and other religion-related.  I know the relationship between mental health and religion, but it should haven't been a solution. I mean, it would, but people who have different approaches. To approach with religious views obviously never always be helpful. You will never know what cause of suicide. The patient is smart to hide the truth and secrets they have. They gonna do it when they have a close friend who can understand.  It can't be blamed and don't be underestimate. If you want to help someone who has suicidal thoughts isn't going to be easy and you just need more something that you can help with, is one of you who can ask the help 24/7 days to the prevention suicidal center or the consultant. It will help and overcome the life problems as soon as possible, to make life better and healthy.

Suicide isn't a sin, but it is a warning for people who underestimate health mental. I'm gonna be reminded last two years ago that we had at least five Deaf people had died in the same one week, which of two Deaf people died by suicide. It gonna be happening in present. I had suicidal thoughts, it was last year. Having a Deaf person who lives in-hearing-majority community is one of the toughest challenges to find out who a person is and who person to be. No Deaf role models. Hearing parents think that Deaf people should be trained in lip-reading and hearing therapies as same as hearing standardly. It is a huge pressure that has begun since birth. This was my feeling. I would thought some questions about my doubt life, kind of "why was I born like this?", "Let me just die. It is really life useless.", "why do people never understand what I'm saying?", "I don't want to be alive like this.", and more. It was all my feelings of having a Deaf person with no support I needed, no Deaf role models, no best friends, and anything I didn't have. When I was going upstairs to ready say good bye with scissors and favorite book and someone came and pulled on my shirt, my suicide was canceled. And, then, I asked an interpreter before talking about what happened. And we talked a lot. That was it. I think it is enough. 

It was darkness. Just be grateful that I have someone who still cares and embraces me. I'm fine right now. Still pursuing my dream. I would imagine that I live in a foreign country that gives me all freedom to live with and have everything I want to in a long term. It still struggling. I hope it will come true.

The first thing I want to remind you all is if you have or find your friend who has suicidal thoughts, please give the help that you can give and embrace them to make their life better and healthy. Don't be underestimate. And one is just call the consultant or the prevention of suicidal center. A second is precious because you are willing to help with just one second that you have a role of saving more people who need help. 

I'm gonna be praying for people who have suicidal thoughts and hope it going to be better and healthy.

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. 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...
