Am The Only Deaf Person?


"Am I The Only One" Aaron Lewis

Would be neither easy to become a Deaf person in a middle hearing person. This is about mental and emotional. I have been spending "the only Deaf person" for the whole of my life. Feel isolated, have no one's chance, and feel uninvolved in the discussion. Why are you know that none of the hearing people as well know the Deaf culture and sign language? It feels bad.  Deaf people naturally have grown with full sign language accessibility. Without knowing full sign language accessibility, it would make Deaf people feel isolated and have bad emotions. I reminded when a Deaf British who was been a speaker about the Deaf psychology.  He spoke about how the years that live in a hearing community, can be 20 years, and more years when you get to feel. It affects the identity of a Deaf person and what will be. 

How can I overcome things that feel bothered? As a Deaf person, the only thing I do is just write as much as I want to feel. Writing is my book, as firstly, then the sports are second. Which something-- the world who all the way I have, as only I have when I am being lonely and alone. Looks anti-social? Yep, 100% for sure. What I would want to be? I'm not kind of what I want to be, but as demanded due to my deafness.  This isn't what I want to do, but I have to do it. 

I have my best friend actually but I and they are alive as smaller people- which the group seems in is which invisible in this community. Who would make of it? I'm kind of not afraid of something late-arrival, but too worried about who as being. 

Then, how can I embrace myself that no longer being isolated? I embrace, I approach, I struggle, and I do as what I want to and what I trust of who will be and how be identify. I being a Deaf person, yep, just do it. All the way of living that should I do too, since the obligation on how to survive and make my life means a lot.

I am inspired by the African Americans who have survived the longest racism and slavery era in the United States and maybe over the world, which included Indonesia (New Order era, whom of Chinese Indonesians were), South Africa through the Apartheid laws-inspired by the Jim Crow laws-, Australia through the White Policy, and other any countries. Jim Crow laws, which you know about. How did Jim Crow laws last? Over 300 years since the American reconciliation period after the Civil War. Martin Luther King Jr was the person I inspired. He fought for the truth, believer, savior, and brave. 

In addition, I was remind of how the disabled people have fought for their civil rights, Deaf people with the march, and more. It makes I'm no longer be alone but I feel motivated that I need to prove to myself that the person really can does it and becomes a successful person, and achieve their dream. 

I'm not the only Deaf person anywhere, somewhere, and anyplace, and the thing I trust is still the people around me to support, pray, and motivate me. Kind of an honor to be able with them. God which you can't be forgotten, He is with you and mine, neither people might who do not believe in Him. 

To say, I'm not the only who person identifies. Still, people are in mine around, at least anywhere I am in.

Thanks, everyone.

I'm a Retired Deaf Activist

I was born to a Deaf person in the middle of a hearing family who does not know sign language and grew up in different ways, neither in the Deaf world nor the hearing world. I studied at a Deaf school using a read-lips method and a mainstream school. So, I'm also a former mainstreamed school alumnus. What was the experience I have become a Deaf person? It was a thrilling journey. Living in an unfriendly country always be challenging. I sometimes was asked why was I born like that and why was I stuck at this family who doesn't know sign language. It felt unfair, though.  I had been an activist since June 2016 and joined Gerkatin (Gerakan untuk Kesejahteraan Tuli untuk Indonesia) which is a Deaf organization. I worked lots-- such as an interpreter, sign language teacher, public speaker, event committee, coordinator, and lead the group, etc-- and had experienced lots, which downs and ups. It was mixed feelings. Being an activist that what you see it looks fun and cool but either t...

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. Menjadi identitas Tuli, saya menghadapi diskriminasi dan rasisme di semua lingkungan dan komunitas. Saya menjadi orang Tuli sejak umur 5 hari setelah kelahiran. Hal pertama adalah pengobatan dan terapi pendegaran. Dokter dan orangtua menginginkan kekurangan saya menjadi orang dengar. Jadi, saya menghabiskan masa kecil saya dengan pengobatan dan pergi ke rumah sakit. Saya hanya sedikit mendapatkan pendidikan dari ibu saya atau keluarga saya. Saya tidak tahu siapa mengajarkan saya seperti itu. Kehidpan pertamaku adalah sangat sedikit kata-kata yang saya didapatkan dalam hidup saya. Saya ...

I Am An Author Who You Known, I am Christian

" Take up the cross and follow me " Matthew 16: 24 If you are a loyal reader who has been reading since the first writing published in January 2020, I would like to announce that I have a fact that really needed to announce. Look at a title, that says I am Christian. Yep, I am Christian and am a follower of Christ. I have prepared some questions might you want to ask When was getting baptized? In December 2019 at GKI Gejayan, Yogyakarta. My baptized name is Malachi Raka. Where is the church usually you worship? English Worship, Yogyakarta. Why did you convert to Christianity? It’s a long story but that came to me who had been fighting for the truth and what makes me feel comfortable and to grow up who am myself. I converted because it’s my decision not because of a girlfriend, I do not have a girlfriend and am still single. After spending two years, I ended up finding Jesus Christ through coming to the church and started tearing up while listening to Christian songs. I really...
