Q & A

What is one barrier you have overcome? How did you do it and what did you learn?

One barrier I’ve overcome is the challenge of finding a place where I felt truly accepted and could grow, despite my disability. Growing up, I wanted to join different activities, but many groups turned me away. The only exception was the Scouts, where I found my first sense of community. Still, I had a lot of energy and wanted to do more. Eventually, I discovered an athletics club that welcomed me, and I became very passionate about it. Through athletics, I not only gained physical strength but also self-confidence. I made new friends and developed a sense of responsibility. This experience taught me that with persistence, there’s always a way to overcome limitations, and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved.
