"If I'm not smiling, then I have to change something"

Recent Employment:   Darcy works at the Listuguj Education Directorate as a Youth counsellor and is in the process of starting his own business.

Community Involvement:   "As a youth counsellor, I teach a life skills class and act as an advocate for the students.   I also coach basketball and I love it. I see the importance of giving back to the community. My main personal goal is to pass on what knowledge and skills I can to young people; I try to give them even the smallest piece of the great life I've experienced growing up in this area."

Advantages of living here:   " I've grown to acknowledge and value the beauty of the coast, and it's something I try to encourage in my students.   It took being away to realize that what I was looking for was something I had left behind.   I realized how good I had it here in Listuguj and knew that I wanted to be home."
