Public education needs to change. All the teachers need to learn sign language fluently so that they can teach Arabic properly, instead of just letting whatever slide. Because that's our right, the right of any Deaf person.

My name is Yusef and my name sign is [index finger on chin].

I was born deaf originally, thank God [alhamdullilah].

I was born Deaf, God gave me my Deafness.

I know that for God to give me Deafness from birth is normal. Of course there are other types of disabilities, like blindness, mental disability, etc. I'm healthy and normal and I thank God for that.

I went to a Deaf public school, the Al-Amal school for the Deaf in Gianaclis.

At first, I went to public school.

The public education wasn't so great, so then I came here to the Asdaa' Association where they have educational programs.

التعليم الحكومي لازم يتغير. كل المدرسين لازم يتعلموا لغة الإشارة بالطلاقة عشان يقدروا يعلّموا العربي بشكل مظبوط بدلا من كلام "اي حاجة" وعشان دا حقنا وحق أي شخص أصم.
