Submission Transcription
One of the best feeling about being an Aboriginal person living in Victoria is meeting new people, alot of places & events to go to & lastly having to see community supports for the homeless people.
One of the most important things, I want people to know about my experiences is that life is not hard if you learn to believe in yourself and challenge yourself by trying out new things.
Self-determination to me is like feeling determined and trusting your self that anything is possible, even if it looks difficult/hard to challenge yourself with.
Some of the most significant changes I want to see in my children & grandchildren are; making sure they have good moral values/behaviour, also for them to learn to respect those who are older than them
