PROCESS

Team 4: Personal Profile - Pamela


I’m reasonably ok looking. Not really fit.

 
I’m pretty laid back. Mum says I do too much, but there is a lot to be done.



I have a couple of close friends who share my interests in community activities.


SRC, St. Vincent de Paul Society, School Leadership Team, Amnesty International Executive.



Participated in the Walk Against Want, fund raising for the Fred Hollows Foundation, and is a leader at Camp Quality.



Amnesty International - I really think it is important for young Aboriginals to be active in Social Justice issues.


Money? It is really great to have enough for your own needs but more important to use it to help others. I strongly believe that we would all be better off if we as a country didn't spend so much on Defence but looked after our poor first.
Possessions? As for money!
Religion? Not really into it! The only time I go to church is if there’s a wedding or something
Marriage? One day. After I meet the hot guy.
Politics? I am into Politics... it is one of the great ways to change policy - get involved. I would like to be a Politician one day but after I have done a lot more work in Social Justice.



I like my friends but I don’t bother with anyone else who doesn't want to change the world.




In an ideal world what would be your 5 year plan?
To finish school and get a job in an area related to Social Justice issues.

What things are standing in the way of achieving this?
Nothing really.


What might be some of the solutions?
No solution necessary

How will you support yourself if you decide on further training after school?
Mum and Dad support my desire to continue with my volunteer work and so they don't expect me to work in a paying job while I study.



Mum and Dad support my Social conscience because Nanna was part of the Stolen Generation.

What is important as far as values go?
What isn't important about values???  We are a really passionate family when it comes to politics, family, social justice etc.  Dad says that if we don't use our voice, we will get the government we deserve.
