Having a stutter myself, thank you for bringing awareness to those with disabilities and making it known we are not inferior. One's disabilities should not define them-- a person should be defined by their character, warmth, knowledge, empathy, and leadership.
🙏 Thank you Dr. Park for your guidance, support & mentorship. Thank you for helping to unearth my potential. I am humbled by this honor. 🎉 Looking forward to continuing to make all those who believe in me proud.
