my autobiography
I was born on a warm, sunny day in February 21, 1998 in Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City. My father named me Grachelle Ann because he thought it sounded good to me. I am the daughter of Johnson Ocon and Daisy Ocon. I live at Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City. My siblings are John Alvreign, Susie, and Mae Grace. Frankly speaking, we are not the wealthy type of family. My father didn’t get the chance to finish his education due to financial problems but fortunately, my eldest brother managed to graduate in college with the hep also of my aunt from Bahrain.
I started out going to school when I was five. So glad I can still remember a bit of my childhood memories. I first entered at Bulua Central School. The school is quite big and has a large number of students too. Every year we have a field demonstration. It’s somewhat like a town fiesta parade wherein our school, students from different sections and levels compete through dancing. Mostly, folklore dances were presented and I can still remember the moment we danced “itik-itik.” The silliest of all the dances, I guess? Right after I finished grade 4, I felt like I was torn to pieces when I heard the news that my grandmother died. I cried a lot knowing that I won’t be able to see her again. I love her because she was so kind and I love her because of her splendid personality. Seeing my mom in grief because of her mother’s death is so painful to me. It even took months for her to recover. I then decided to transfer to another school. It’s small unlike my old school. The students there are so friendly and it’s quite odd because I was the introvert type of person back then. I gained new friends and also one rival. Her name is Richam Mae. I don’t understand why she seemed so mad and irritated at me all the time. When I consulted my friend Rhea about that, she told me that Richam was just insecure. Well, I just took it as a challenge. When I felt that she was trying to compete with me, I didn’t hesitate to show what I can do. In the

    According to VARK (Fleming, 2001-2011), visual learners prefer pictures; they tend to look for the whole picture instead of breaking it down, and analyzing each portion. They will remember pictures or diagrams on study pages. Aural learners prefer to hear things; they will re-listen to taped lectures, and should attend discussions. Their class notes might be poor because they tend to listens instead of take notes, but they will recall stories or examples from the lectures. Read/write learners like words or lists; they take a lot of notes, and re-read them over and over. They use dictionaries,…

    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.…

    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.…

    Personal background starts off small, it changes and grows over time into something big, it grows into an identity. Walking down the hallway at school, seeing someone standing alone, my first instinct is to make conversation, compliment, or even just smile at him or her. This instinct came from someone once telling me an act so small could turn a person's entire life around. As a kid, reading encyclopedias about random topics, consumed my time. Many days were spent coming home to find an injured wild animal in my dad's arms waiting to be saved. My dad would sit outside and draw animals, trees, and anything else he saw. Nothing excited me more than trying to draw whatever my dad drew, and as good as he did. Any assignment that was handed to…

    Ever since I was a young kid, I was extremely fond of music. Music was all around me: on the television, in school, at the store, and especially in the car. Not only did I love to listen to music, but I loved to play it as well. I am not saying I was any good at playing music, because I was not. But to a young child, hitting their hand on anything could be music, and to me it definitely was.…

    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…

    Since day one that I can remember, my parents have always been divorced. Sometimes it became a big problem in our family because of the constant arguments between them. The court felt it wasn’t fair for my brothers and I and came to the conclusion that the children will see a counselor one a week. At that time I was so young I didn’t know exactly what that meant and apparently had no other choice but to go. Little did I know that it would change my perception forever.…
