One student who participated in the program responded that she finally figured out what she wanted to be in the future. “I just had a vague thought that I wanted to be a flight attendant. But after I experienced what it would be like at a facility which was the same as a real plane, I was sure that’s what I want to be when I grow up.”
The head of Wee Center, Kim Young-woo, commented that he is determined to continue hosting the camp. “Through the camp, students can look into their positive selves, and also find the breadth of mind to respect what others are good at. We hope that we can help more students by continuously hosting the camp.”
