Autobiography

Anxiety was the only feeling I recall when I first saw the subject of this paper. I believe that it is hard to speak about ourselves in general, therefore the idea of an autobiography is not even in the equation. I truly believe that organization is an important and key element we need to practice in whatever thing we choose to do in life. This is the reason why I find it simpler and less of a hassle for me to talk about three impactful timelines, which are my state before I moved to the United States, my state in the United States and my current independence.

Africa taught me a numerous amount of things about life in general. Even thought I was born in Marseille, I was mainly raised in Niger, a sub Saharan country on the

I wasn’t doing it in a negative intention, but I was a master at annoying my peers during and out of class. I guess the stressful relationship I had in my family was actually coming out of me expressing it at school with others. That’s right, I had an abusive relation with the eldest of my brothers. I feared him without even knowing why at first, that’s before it becomes physical.

Keeping that self-awareness state throughout all the years turned it into a second nature at one point. I was actually in that mind state without even knowing that I was in that mind state. Fortunately, it had good impacts on me social wise. For instance, I stopped all the mockery and the mean stuff we did to others. I got really good at confining and reflecting on myself, my goals and what I really want in life. Guess the some tough relationships sometimes are actually beneficial if you

    My Sociological Biography Place of Birth To begin, both of my parents were born and raised in the Dominican Republic, living about 30 minutes away from each other, yet they met in the neighboring island of Puerto Rico. Even though I consider myself Dominican, since both of my families are so, I was born in Puerto Rico. More specifically, I was born in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, on Monday, April 14, 1997 at 9am in the Auxilio Mutuo Hospital. I consider myself to have a dual identity because of this, being part of two cultures at the same time, yet not being one nor the other. In my younger years, my family and I shifted from moving and living between my parents homeland, the Dominican Republic, and mine, Puerto Rico.…

    I was born in San Jose, California and my family moved to Ohio, the heartland of America, soon after. I remember always peering through the window by the stairs as the snow fell then sledding down the snowy driveway with glee. During my childhood, I spent a year in China experiencing my cultural roots. My family then moved to Los Angeles where I have spent nearly thirteen years of my life exposed to a blend of different cultures and communities. The diversity encourages me to stay true to my background and enjoy standing out rather than fitting in.…

    Literacy Autobiography Reading has always been a subject that I have struggled in and so has many others. Not the understanding part, but the paying attention to whatever is on the page and what is happening part. It has always been something that I need to figure out, and I am still figuring it out to this day. Ever since the first day of kindergarten, I have been terrible at writing, reading, and most anything related to the English subject.…

    My grandfather was born in Gilroy, California, in 1939. At the age of eight, my grandfather moved to a ranch near the outskirts of Gilroy, where he lived in a one room shack with his mother, brother, and step-father.

    Almost all my childhood was spent hating pink, not knowing what feminism was, and fully agreeing with everything my mother ever taught me. The earliest memory I have of color preferences consists of saying that I hated pink and that I loved blue. Disliking pink in and of itself is harmless, but I do remember that I also thought it was “girly” and I was a “tomboy”. I tried so hard when I was eight years old to be a boy.…

However, being the first generation to grow up in New Zealand meant that many traditional Chinese views on gender norms were still incorporated into my upbringing. This socio-autobiography will explore sociological gender concepts across time and cultures, and how they have shaped my life.…
