Sterotype

It was the first days Hyeeun school that I met J.W Kim. He was a student of Hyeeun school, and, generally speaking, he wasn’t exactly as I assumed he would be. We all have stereotypes: One particular stereotype applies for the disabled people that you expect a disabled person to be not normal. However, stereotypes are to be broken as we are to learn from our mistakes. That is what Hyeeun school is to me, and it is almost safe to say this process started when I met J.W Kim. To briefly introduce him, J.W is a teenager at my age interested in music and games just like me and millions of other teenagers. He is active in every activities, have good relationships with everyone, and he can talk perfectly fine. He and I have many things to talk about. To be honest, I was surprised to find that he could talk so well. Now, I realize that it was shameful to think that. When I first walked through the door, JW didn’t want a person who would sympathize him, but a person he could talk to. Stereotypes exist in all of us, but stereotypes exist to be broken.
