There was no other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that he knew of at the university–he was keen to be a teacher. Although he knew it was a good thing for him to get an education – he had to move away from Country and his mob. This was hard for Luke – he felt isolated and alone and cried in his room at night. There was nothing familiar at university and if there were any questions about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues – he was always asked about it whether he knew the answer or not. He felt he should know the answers when sometimes he didn’t.
