4 - Social Science, Education, Govt. & Religion

I was born in Norway House but I was transient when I was younger; we moved everywhere. We were in the City of Winnipeg; we lived in Brandon for a while; B.C., Saskatchewan, then we moved back here to Winnipeg.

At the time it seemed normal. I think back now and it was probably the worst thing for me. The oldest friend I have is from high school and that's only been fifteen years. I don't have any childhood friends because we moved so much.

It wasn't good for us as a family to be moving around so much. Another issue that we dealt with was that we were on welfare while I grew up. My mom did a lot of house cleaning on the side, just to try to make ends meet and my stepdad didn't work.
