The world of SILENCE


At first, I was amazed with how deaf are talking with each other. I used to observe them and interpret the meanings of every sign they do..and WOW! It's really amazing! Hands are talking! Idea is transferred and understood through hands, normal individual like us can enter the world of the people who' s from birth were not given the chance to hear any sound.

I decided to enroll in PRID Philippine Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf. ( Aside from the fact that the school required us also). I thought learning the sign language will be boring, it was so strange at first..new environment, new people, new everything. But when the director Ma'am Beth Go delivered her message during the Opening Program on the first day of our class, I heard a very important and wonderful message that motivated me to continue my study of sign language.

" There are deaf who are victims of rape, there deaf who witnesses of a crime, but since people cannot understand them.. they are neglected and considered insane". .. True, isn't it? from then on, I saw my purpose, I realized why I am there in that school. Why I need to leave the house at 3 in the morning and take the earliest trip of a passenger bus every Saturday. Why I need to sacrifice my time even my money just to attend the class. Why I have many sleepless nights because I need to review for the next Saturday's class. It is an "aegean task" for me but I didn't stop and I have no plans of stopping. I will continue till I have the chance , the money , the time of continuing this worthy undertakings I have started.

Let us know our purpose, and let us find time to pursue it.
If that can be the only way to help and reach out to others who need us, let us not have the second thought. Let us make it happen.

Join me, as I enter the world of silence .
