Jo is 22 years old. Due to his condition, he cannot walk, sit or talk. From his early childhood, his father was always worried about him. “I always thought to myself,” his father mentions “Jo is so sweet, but when I think about his future, I couldn’t think of any jobs he could do. Jo would need to be under constant care and be taken care of by society for the rest of his life. “

However, his father realized something important 10 years after Jo was born. Jo has the potential to give comfort and power to those around him. Jo’s father was only looking at Jo as an individual. When Jo is with another person, he has the potential to do something big. Jo’s father explains it like it’s a chemical reaction. Jo’s presence is like adding a stimulant (in this case Jo) for someone who will help them move forward. Jo’s father named this “The power of a partner”

“I think originally, humans needed to have some sort of connections with each other to live,” Jo’s father adds.
“There is a need for using Jo’s power of a partner to help out groups requiring a boost.
Judging people by ranking and grades only is something that needs to change.
To have two people come together to create one or to combine everyone’s power into one. Just having this point of view will change the values for everyone and most importantly, this is what Jo has taught me.”
