Who are you?

Where are you from?
Little Pine First Nation
Why
did you want to participate?
I wanted to partake in this project
because I believe it was a great project of empowerment and strength and
that it's a good reminder of how far
people have come and grown as an individual.
What
is a defining moment that challenged you and made you a stronger
person?
One moment that has defined me today was my first year of
university when I made the decision to move
from Regina. During that time I was going through some rough things and
was scared to be out on my own. I took the plunge and left Regina and
things changed for the better for me once I got to Saskatoon.
How are you able to overcome
adversity and what did it teach you about yourself?
I
try to look at things optimistically and push forward, I believe that
things happen for a reason and that the only person I can control is
myself and how I react to situations.
I've also learned that people will try tear you down but all you can do
is keep going because it's more of a reflection of those people then
myself. It's taught me that I can handle a lot more then I used to be
able to and I've gotten so much stronger as a
person.
What would you tell a younger version of yourself today?
If
I could talk to younger me, I would tell her that there is so much to
look forward to in your future and that you are capable of so much more
then you give yourself credit for,
And that people would come and go in her life and to always trust your
gut when it comes to people or situations.
