ABOUT ME
Single parent family
(TEXT FROM SOUND BITE)
"I grew up in a single mom type thing. My brother was older. I was the second oldest and I had my three younger sisters. I had one grandma and one great-grandpa.
"Basically we grew up through social assistance; we weren't the richest family in town.
"I went to Duck Bay School from nursery to grade nine. Then when you graduate from grade nine you've got to pursue high school out of town, which is either Frontier Collegiate or Winnipegosis Collegiate."
