‘Yonsei Hawking’ Shin Hyung-jin received his degree in the 2011 Graduation Ceremony. Nine years have passes since he entered the Department of Computer Science in 2002. Hyung-jin took 2-3 courses every semester with help and support from his mother. Although Hyung-jin has had spinal muscular atrophy, this challenge did not stop him from completing university education and earning his degree. Since seven months after birth, Shin Hyung-jin has had spinal muscular atrophy—a neuromuscular disease characterized by degeneration of motor neurons, resulting in progressive muscular atrophy and weakness. However, his disabilities did not stop him from pursuing his education. He attended classes in his wheelchair while he was paralyzed from neck down. Shin Hyung-jin was able to finish education from Yonsei with cordial support from his mother, the Yonsei University, and the most advanced eyeball-tracking electronic devices. The eyeball-tracking mouse and keyboard enabled Shin Hyung-jin to use the Internet and write papers for the classes. Despite his extraordinary passion for education, Shin confronted many hard times because of his illness. He attributes his strength to endure such painful times to his religious faith in God. His mother, Lee Won-ok expressed her thanks, saying “His strong faith in God helped him overcome his battle with the disease. There are so many people from Yonsei and church who have encouraged and supported Hyung-jin.” Hyung-jin hopes to become a software developer. He will soon decide whether to join an IT company or continue studies in the graduate school.
