Counting seconds for heading to 2016 as former Hearing Impaired and
proudly to be labelled as deaf in straight to Deaf.
Dear Bloggers,
As many times I have been thinking what I intended to write
through this blog. The reason why I started to write English for this blog that
I have struggled with confidence in writing English. Before going to a round of
chronicle, I would like to let you know that I am not good at English written
especially grammar because Indonesia is my native language. For this reason,
readers have rights to ask what does it mean or even revise any sentences here
for being worthy read. Thank you.
Here we go….
Yet, as previous times, I hated
English for once because it was hardship to access that International language
as people said when I was in Junior High School (Where I was introduced to
learn English for the first time). At that time, I accessed both Indonesian and
English language by using read-lips. The story why I became like that has told
by previous posts in this blog. By intermezzo time, I had experienced a few tough
years where my Deaf sister left us forever. Fortunately, Sign Language and Deaf
World pushed me to learn and be loveable about English as windows to see how
real world goes. In addition, it persuaded me to be proud of who I am or similar
with a quote,” Just be yourself!”
Anyway, other reason could be
logical that might invite people wonder. Last year, I took English Education
for continuing my step in higher education level. Yes, it was a big decision
for me and my family because as I experienced with English that I was not
dealing so good with that late language eaten. Although I have been interested
with English since 3 years ago. Thank God, since I enrolled Sampoerna
University, I have been surrounded by good environment that helped me to
improve my English skills except speaking and listening. Yes, I am Deaf
actually and it is impossible or difficult for me to be able in speaking and
listening as hearing people. How I handled that? I have been helped with kind-hearted people, notebook,
internet, smartphone, imported books and et cetera. Why I took that? I wanted to have an experience how hard Deaf People access Indonesian Language, and I planned to reverse Deaf people said that English is NOT frightening. Furthermore, I try to make that language could be changed as enjoyable learning for future Deaf Indonesians Leaders. But, I am hesitated to realise that because I am still discovering my path for Deaf Community in this present.....
At this of all, give me a chance to
consider for being habitual to write routine with various topic especially
Deaf, Life and Challenge in facing to real World.
Anyway, first sentence is a guide
to me for directing my further writing….
My thoughts are full with stories
that I am required to express through this blog as son of well known persons,
former hearing impaired, and Deaf - Hearing World adventurer.
This writing based on my experience
that relates with my life, habit, psychology, point of view and belief.
To be continued……
