1. Describe the culture in which you grew up. What are its strengths and weaknesses?
I grew up in a culture of Disney princesses, Sesame Street, Barney and Blues Clues. During a time when the only television before ten A.M. was cartoons, and before cartoon network cut out shows like Dexter's Laboratory and Code Name Kids Next Door. Where the first Harry Potter book became known, just in time to receive my letter to Hogwarts and the most important thing on my mind was being sorted into Gryffindor and staying as far away from Slytherin as possible. Throughout my upbringing, the movie and tv industry were the people behind some of my first words. At age two, I learned the word mine right before Barney taught me how to share. Harry Potter taught me to read long novels, to fake a British accent, and to never say bloody hell around my parents. T.V. taught me how to properly spell laboratory, and that if I wanted to be like Princess Ariel, I would have to learn how to swim first. T.V. shows taught me to just be a kid. While this culture may not be as immediately visible as my African American heritage, it played just as large a part in my upbringing.
