My house was a makeshift garage where everyone would come fix their cars. Since I was a toddler, I would walk to the back of the house and my father would teach me how to take apart and put together different auto parts, and I would have a big jar of ball bearings that I would collect. By the time I was 13 years old, I started to help my father as a mechanic by assembling and fixing racing cars. This resulted in my ever-growing passion for racing cars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 What are three interesting facts about you?<\/strong><br \/>\n1. I have certain career goals.<br \/>\n2. I\u2019m not afraid of new things that will happen.<br \/>\n3. I am confident in my body and appearance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2014 An issue or cause you are passionate about:\u2028<\/strong><br \/>\nThai society is still judging people by looks or external actions. We don&#8217;t ask for reasons or origins. It is difficult for people without status to have a standing in society. Thai society still has high inequality on this issue. Both on issues of status and gender, I strongly disagree with this idea. So I have a passion for helping people who are not wealthy, including the blind, people with disabilities, homeless and helpless. It made me feel grounded and gave them a strong standpoint to follow along with. Be confident together, be able to dare to come out and do what you want.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aidan Who: Aidan Tune (@lobsterking22) \u2014 186 cm \/ 6&#8217;1&#8243; \u2014 American from Honolulu, Hawaii, USA \u2014 born October 21st \u2014 he\/him.
