A Safe Place





    Home has many diverse definitions. However, for numerous people one of the definitions is a safe place. My safe place is Kick Connection (KC ) where I practiced taekwondo. I was born in South Korea where taekwondo originated. When I go to KC, I feel that I can be myself without worrying about the difficulty with communication, school, and work. I am deaf and my involvement at KC has caused many people to become interested in learning American Sign Language (ASL). I am pleased to see people are willing to learn new things and happy to accept who I am.
