"What happens when you lock a lion in a cage? It get's hungry." These are Stuart Yiwarr McGrath's words. After 15 years of living in poverty he was hungry for success - so he followed his dreams. Stuart is currently in his second year of a Bachelor of Nursing - his first which he did remotely while working full time and being a father. When he graduates he will be the first ever Yolngu registered nurse.At 28 years of age he has already lived many different lives. From his nomadic upbringing in remote indigenous communities in this region, to schooling in Canberra, living in Santa Teresa and studying in Darwin. These experiences have given Stuart a special insight which many people in Australia, and the world - are oblivious to. His drive to help his community and give his two young daughters the best opportunities in life is truly inspiring. He has big dreams, one of which is making steps towards closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. He is a natural leader and without a doubt, Stuart is destined for great things.
