Senior female students from St Paul’s Catholic College, Booragul, heard from Special Education Teacher, Ms Yates, as she shared her story of resilience and overcoming life’s obstacles at their International Women’s Day breakfast.
In 2004, Ms Yates and her two children lost her husband and their father to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma when he was 35 years old.
“You don’t know how to get through those things, but you just keep getting up and taking each day at a time,” Ms Yates said.
