What organization recognized the achievement?

This was presented and recognized at the 7th Kim Un Yong Cup International Open Taekwondo Championships 2026, held in Seoul, South Korea, and promoted by Kimunyong Sport Committee.

How did homeschooling help you achieve your goal?

With the right balance of school and sports, I could train 4 to 5 times a week.

Homeschooling helped me manage my time. I could do my schoolwork anywhere, so I didn’t miss anything from school or my taekwondo training.

What are your interests?

I love to draw and create my own characters in my drawings. I also like creating my own game in Roblox through coding classes; don’t worry, my Mom watches over me during screen time. And most especially, I love doing taekwondo weekly with my friends.

What are you inspired to do with your life?

I would like to be an artist or painter. Maybe an artist who creates entertaining, funny characters and creative figures in stories or anime.

What are your favorite subjects and why?

I like Art class, and right now I am appreciating the history of Art. I also like American History because the stories about the past are really interesting. Lastly, I like reading fictional stories because some fictional stories are just so entertaining and surprising on every page.
