Nicholas's Story
Life
due to the immaturity and violent natures of my high school classmates and family I left home at 15 in 1975 to start working in the factories and then bars in toronto etc. tho i was forced to hit the streets due to the continual abuse from classmates i found that many other people on the streets at an early age suffered the same ignorant violent behaivor. the teenagers etc who left school early turned out to be the smarter and more mature people no matter what their age. over the past decade i have worked with street kids pointing these facts out to them, and that if i could do better than many of my ex-classmates in victoria so could they.

Workplace
my work and career life has progressed better than i thought. my half-breed status was upgraded in the late 80's to a full indian status which entitles me to education and many other benefits that are rightfully our own.
