[2019 GITC Participant] Supphachoke Sukjamlong from Thailand > Participants' Story Global IT Challenge

Hello, my name is Supphachoke Sukjamlong, a student with autism. 

I am now studying at the major of accountancy, the faculty of fine arts, Kasetsart University. 

My experience of GITC was in 2019, my aunt recommended me to join GITC national league with my younger brother and other friends under Autistic United Association Thailand. 

There were 5 eligible participants and I was selected to join GITC international league. 

I had been trained before the competition started in November. 

And when I joined the competition I could get gold medal award for e-Creative (Team). 

This competition helped me understand that youths with disabilities are also capable, finally we could overcome the pressure and challenges very well and make our country proud.

The inspirational story in this program is I could make new friends with youths with disabilities from around the world and get many supports from government authorities. 

The most important thing I was so impressed and proud is to see Thai flag on my shirt when I competed and I could bring the dignity to my country. 

I have never thought about this before.

Lastly, I would like to say that I am so proud of myself that I am the representative of youths with disabilities to join the GITC and thank you to government authorities which helped me during the whole journey. 

I promise that I will do my best every time. Thank you so much.
