I just wanted to comment on your presentation that you did at Central Algoma Secondary School. It was an honor to meet you and get my picture with you. The info you handed to us made me learn so much more about life and how different people deal with it, like you and having your dream and well it came true that's amazing!

“If I could talk to Ted Nolan for a minute, I give him a hug because the presentation was very emotional. I would tell him that he really has made a difference in the world and he should be proud of himself. He’s a role model for all aboriginals as well as human beings."

Reading Rose Nolan’s story has inspired me to complete my degree in knowing that learning is a life long process. Rose Nolan has empowered me to be a strong and resilient Anishnaabe-kwe.
