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......
