Personal Information
Other , I am a quick learner and enjoy learning. I have studied many different areas throughout my life. I am able to do research and analyze data. Organized and creative I like to work with people and children. I have been a full time student, a full time employee, and a full time mother. I have also done all 3 of these things at the same time throughout different times of my life. This has taught me how to be efficient and use time wisely. Time management and prioritizing goals and tasks has been the cornerstone to my success. As a student, a teacher, and a mother I can say that learning throughout life is continuous. You can always learn more, there are always new things to learn. My goal in life is to continue to learn more about Anishnabek culture and become fluent in Anishinabemowin so I can help others not only to learn Anishinabemowin, but to find their identity as an Anishinabe, in order to be proud of who they are, to live in a good way, and live a healthy lifestyle. I want to help my Native American Community to be healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Carrie Heron
