00:00I love sharing my story as an educator and a big part of my story was the
00:05Country Education Foundation. I'm certainly very grateful for their
00:08support. You know you can have these dreams, you can put the preach into
00:12practice but you know there's always obstacles that can provide challenges
00:15throughout the way and I guess the CEF was a great support to me and my family
00:20with just helping overcome some of those financial obstacles that you know
00:24present themselves with studying at university in Sydney. So I'm very
00:27grateful for their help and I guess for me it's really hard to put into words
00:32that thanks so I try and put that into action and help out here with the great
00:37local committee led by Sue Rogan when I can and we hold some great fundraising
00:42events and have a Facebook and an Instagram page to just try and build the
00:45profile to let more country kids know the great work CEF does and how they can
00:50support some of that help to chase their post school dreams.
