My name is Apwende Bulus. I am a 27 years old boy
deaf Nigerian–fourth born in a family of six children. I attended Special
School for the Deaf. After that I went to high institution of learning where
I obtained my Diploma programme in Special Education Department University
of Jos, Nigeria-Diploma in Hearing Impaired. I graduated in 2001. I am now
teaching professional in Special School for Deaf children named Good
Shepherd Centre for Special Education.
I have come to realise that God has a reason for everything. He cares
for my life by His divine grace. My family (especially my parents) have
contributed immensely to my being in life. They have also helped me to
achieve my set goals in life. I just cannot thank my family well enough - I
will remain grateful to my parents who gave everything possible just to make
sure I live up to my dreams in life. Every member of my family has been a
source of encouragement in all the years of my life.

One of my dreams is to visit the USA. My hobbies are typewriting, novel, visit friends, football, and reading.
