I told my story because being an Aboriginal a lot of people might think we don't have a backbone and they might think we are weak. I like to let people know that there are quite a few of us who have a will power to stand on our own two feet when experiences like this come along. We have got a backbone and a will power to stand on our own two feet with issues of right and wrong.
