I started attending my BSL (Basic Sign Language)
class two saturdays ago.
On our first meeting,
I knew already that its going to be edutainment.
Sometimes my teacher would share to us
stories about the impediments of hearing-impaired people.
May it be at home, MRT stations,
while riding a bus, at school, at McDonalds or KFC,
and so many places else.
The sad fact is that there are not enough
attention and support made available for them.
Like in terms of schooling
or getting a deaf kid a decent education.
At the present time, a limited or only
an exclusive number can enter the special school for the deaf.
Before I signed up for the program,
my intention is just to learn another language.
I initially wanted to learn at least basic mandarin.
But later I came to realize that this didn’t happen by chance.
That my posting this entry hopefully
would be read and understood in a very real sense by others.
Im not pleading for any sympathy for the deaf, mute, and blind here.
Im publishing this for the hearing, talking, and seeing people that one day we may be able to interpret
words as works and translate work into a functioning deed.
It’s a task.
We will have our final recital in June.
Song interpretation.
Our teacher-interpreter said its not our hands that will
shed light on the song but rather our hearts.
:-)
its worse than the ZTE.
