Q & A

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

Yeonwoo Kim was born on May 4th, 2000 and she is from Suwon, Gyeonggi province. Language Therapy was given because the development process was late since birth. hospital diagnosis results due to many difficulties in learning after entering elementary school. I was diagnosed with Level 3 intellectual disabilities. Students with intellectual disabilities are taught in special classes in elementary, middle and high schools. I graduated from Hosanna University with a degree in geriatric care. After going through puberty, I realized that I had a disability, and I had a lot of difficulties. I had it, but I started speed skating when I was in fourth grade. As I participated in national and social international competitions, my self-esteem went up. Currently, I’m employed as a professional athlete in a large company’s Hoban industrial Co.,Ltd. I work as a paid office worker.
