Autobiography

My name is Nichelle Johnson, I was born in El Campo, Texas. I grew up in Wharton, Texas. My Mother Joyce had four children. She was a single mother working to support us on her own. I am the third child born out of four. I have one niece and two nephews. Shardra, is my oldest sister she’s a full-time Special Education teacher in Fort Bend County. My brother Jamel lives in Houston working in a warehouse at Randstad. My youngest sister Veshia works at Kids World and is majoring to be an early childhood educator as well. My niece Jocelyn is 12 yrs old. She plays softball and has been names to the all-star teams, she also runs track. My oldest nephew Jermaine 11 years old has also been named as an all-star for baseball and football. My little nephew Brandon who’s 4 yrs old, I take care of goes to daycare with me. I graduated from Wharton high school in 2003. Went to Wharton County Junior College from 2003-2006 and received an Administrative Assistant Certificate. I love being around kids so I decided to go back to school to pursue my educational career. While going to school, my cousin, an infant at the time, came to live with me until he was 6 years old. This meant I was working part-time, a full-time student and full-time mother at the young age of 19. Life to me means friends and family who trust and are trusted. I am pretty much on the happy side of life, but like others I do I have my days. That means I do have some sad days or depressed days. I have someone here at school to talk to. I make my school days go by thinking of either the next hour or what I will do when I get home or on the weekend. The year 2018 will make fifteen years since I graduated from high school. In the next two-three years I hope to be in the public school district as a certified teacher. I can see myself into taking my family to the Cayman Islands someday for all the times they have supported me. I can also see that someday I will be able to pass my

    My father’s parents were born in a small village in the Peloponnese. They were kind and humble people that eventually made their way to Athens. My mother’s parents were born in Kafkaso, a town in Minor Asia, which at that time belonged to Greece. With the war of 1921, the Turks forced my mother’s parents to flee to Athens. They were wealthy and proud, as were many Pontian Greeks at that time. Both of my parents were born in Athens in the fifties. My mother left Athens in 1969, America bound and my father followed soon after.…

    Some of the earliest reading memories I have come from reading flashcards with basic words on them, reading closed captions on cartoons (something I still utilize to this day,) and being read to by my mother and preschool teachers. A memory I remember in vivid detail (which is one of my earliest memories) is sitting in the lap of one of the preschool assistants (Jan) as she was reading to me. I do not remember what book it was, however, I do remember I was wearing a sweatshirt and my pink snowboots. I have a picture of this in a preschool scrapbook. Another one of my early reading memories is watching Timon and Pumbaa and singing along to the theme song as I read the closed captions. My mother came in when she heard me singing the word “philosophy” and I gave her a look that said “What is that face for?”…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    When I first saw in the syllabus the type of paper we would be writing for this course I thought about what culture means to me. What was the culture of my family? Where did we come from? How did we end up in Virginia? How did we end up believing some of the things we believe? To me culture was basically how I was raised—my behaviors, beliefs, values, and ideas cultivated during my youth and its evolvement as I grew into an adult. This truly was to be a very interesting and involved quest for information. Though I attempted to use websites such as www.genealogy.com and www.ancestry.com, I found most of the information from a couple of the adults in my family. Adults? I, too, am an adult, but in my family, age comes before everything; and because I am younger, I am treated as such and am expected to behave a certain manner towards the elders in my family. So begins the learning of the nature of my familial circle!…

    Sir Frances Bacon said, “If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of the world, and his heart is no island cut off from other islands, but a continent that joins them,” (Jenkins, 1994). This quote represents all the core values that I cherish and to which I adhere. Personal culture doesn’t have to be linked to a certain country of origin or a specific ethnicity; it can be as simple as a person’s core values. The Southern way of life is a culture all in itself.…

    Sociological Autobiography

    My life started with my long and hard birth on July 14, 1993. I came into the world with a large scream and was immediately placed into some sort of category. The doctors and nurses took a quick look at me, and pronounced me as a girl. This social label of being a girl was now my gender, which is something I had no say in. Every since that very moment in time where my parents were told I was a girl, I have been treated according to my gender. This meant that my parents automatically dressed me in pink, bought me dollhouses and kitchen sets and threw me Barbie themed birthday parties. Since I was surrounded my whole entire life by these things, it was almost like second nature to think and act the way that I did and still do. My socialization skills, which to put simply are the accepted ways in society to behave or how I express myself, have all been shaped by the fact that I am a female. The socialization process is how we learn to act or to follow norms along with what to believe. There have been many agents of socialization in my life, which are the people and types of situations that teach us as human beings how to act and can shape your personality which I’m going to describe.…

    In March 2011, I took a few days of classes and received my hunting education certification. Looking back, the actual class time is just a blur of what not to do, but I was reminded of them when I took drivers education last December, with the what not to do teachings. I also remember being very nervous about the test, but having a great feeling when I learned I passed. That October, I remember being immensely excited to go on my first hunt. The night before my dad and I left, I had a parent teacher conference and I remember getting some strange looks in the parking lot because we had a trailer loaded with tents, four wheelers, chairs, and a bunch of other stuff…

    I missed so much of school, while I was in rehab that I decided to drop out of high school. I took the test for my General Education Diploma. I did so well on the test my very first time, that the General Education Diploma Program paid for two of my classes I took at Jeff State last year. So, I started college a year earlier than I would have if I had not dropped out. I made straight A’s last year and intend to continue making good grades this year. I am majoring in Psychology, and I am very excited about my bright and exciting…
