Extract

Growing up, my family moved around a lot. I was born in Tamworth, New South Wales, and soon after, the family moved to western Sydney to live with my extended family. We lived in Seven Hills, Mt Druitt and Colyton. My uncles, who were very close to me in age, treated me like their brother. They taught me how to be street smart. I did not really enjoy school, primarily because I changed schools regularly. Having attended four primary schools and three high schools, I left school in Year 10 and became a motor mechanic. I feel like I have never really settled in anywhere and not sure where to call home.
