My Feelings Tried To Control

Being Overseas At The Time It All Kind Of Happened Was Perfect Because I Had No Idea That It Was Going To Attract So Much Media Attention And Provoke These Lovely People Calling In And Offering Up Their Opinions And Advice.

I Was Always Surrounded By Expectation From The Very First Race I Ran As A 5-year-old.

I Want To Be A Positive Role Model, Especially For Kids And Aboriginal People... When People See Me, Often All They See Is Another Australian Athlete Having A Go. It Isn't Until They See The Full Cathy Freeman Picture That They Realise How Proud I Am Of My Ancestry And Heritage. I'd Like A Little More Tolerance And Acceptance Of My Culture And All The Differing Cultures That Make Up Australia.

I Like Being In The Workforce; It Keeps Me Grounded.

I Made Publicity Contracts With Nike, Several Broadcasting Companies And Airline Companies Within Australia.
