Who I am and where I come from

I grew up in a traditional household on the Yellow Quill First Nation reserve. Yellow Quill is situated near the town of Kelvington, SK. I am 32 years old. I decided to become a teacher because I am seeing so much of our youth on Yellow Quill losing their language and traditions and losing interest in school. I want to go back home and help the youth gain an interest in school and help them get in touch with their culture. I am not saying that I am going to go and change every student to grasp my ambitions, as long as I even reach one student then I know I made a difference in achieving my goals. I am not sure if I am making sense, I am feeling a little bit under the weather and I am still wondering what the heck I am doing here....so until next time......

  1. You are motivated by great needs and there is no better motivation than what you describe. We are lucky to have people like you here at the College.
