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.

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...

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...

How To Behave The Statement of Ableism and Audism Ways Thinking?

Indonesia’s social affairs minister Bu Risma criticised for telling an event on the International Day of People with Disability that Deaf people should force themselves to speak in public (rather than use sign language). Source: https://twitter.com/Jayandaru2020/status/1466312635050201093 That's heartbreaking and just speechless what she spoke on Deaf people and over 7 million Deaf people in Indonesia. Turning the International Disability Day on December 1-4th, 2021, that isn't what we expected to be respected for our language and culture. We were asked to speak without sign language and felt hurt, mad, disappointed, and standing up to what we the most know of our language and culture, sign language. No one can instead, except someone has their right to freedom in the ways of communication they had and must be respected any they decided.  There are 90% of Deaf children who raised by hearing families who don't know Deaf culture. The data I got is from Surya Sahetapy who is a...
