Q & A

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

In school, I was not able to read and write like most of my classmates. I hated myself for not able to do what my classmates were doing. After joining Special Olympics and being involved in sports, I gained confidence and excelled in what I do. I have learnt that when given opportunity, people with disability can be engaged meaningfully in the society.
