The 24-year-old woman recently completed her Masters degree at the London School of Public Relations. “I have proven to my doctor, who had discouraged me from going to college due to my hearing disability, that he was wrong,” she recently told a discussion on disabled people in Jakarta.

Graduating from college with flying colors, however, is no guarantee that disabled people will receive equal treatment at work.
