I Have Been Told Many Times That When I Win I Make My People Proud To Be Australian. I Am Aboriginal, I Am One Of Them And Every Time I Win Or Am Honoured Like This It Should Be An Example To Aboriginal People Who May Think They Have Nowhere To Go But Down. But More Importantly I Am An Australian And I Would Like To Make All Australians Feel Proud To Be Australian. Ours Is A Truly Multicultural Society And Should Be United As Such. I Would Like To Believe That My Successes Are Celebrated By All Australians, Bringing Our Nation Together.

I Have Been Told Many Times That When I Win I Make My People Proud To Be Australian. I Am Aboriginal, I Am One Of Them And Every Time I Win Or Am Honoured Like This It Should Be An Example To Aboriginal People Who May Think They Have Nowhere To Go But Down. But More Importantly I Am An Australian And I Would Like To Make All Australians Feel Proud To Be Australian. Ours Is A Truly Multicultural Society And Should Be United As Such. I Would Like To Believe That My Successes Are Celebrated By All Australians, Bringing Our Nation Together.

The Last Sort Of Really Low-key Race I Ran, I Realized With About A Hundred Metres To Go, That My Heart Just Wasn't In It. I Wasn't Trying My Hardest, I Didn't Care To Compete Against The Girls I Was Up Against. That Spoke A Lot About Where My Heart Was Taking Me-which Was Off The Track.
