Socialization goes on throughout our whole lives... I wonder what experiences I'm having now and will have in the future that will impact my view of the world....

In grade 9 I got my first cell phone (the blue one!) - you had prepaid balance and every text you send subtracted from your balance, so you had to choose wisely what was worth sending. It was mostly for my parents to keep tabs on me, but I also used most of my balance texting my friends in the middle of the night. How things are different now!!

I loved playing with tamagotchi's - these have an interesting parallel to socialization because you had to keep them "alive" just like you would a pet or a kid.

My first foray into paid employment was gymnastics coaching, which I did for over 10 years. I learned the norms and values of a workplace, and was able to begin practicing budgeting, spending, and saving.

My peers were an important part of my socialization because I am an only child, so I looked to my peers for role modelling. I had some good friends growing up and until this day, but I have also had quarrels and disappointments, too, that taught me a lot about how to relate to other people.

I was very obsessed with the Backstreet Boys and spend a lot of time collecting their pictures, listening to their music, and attending their concerts.

EDUCATION: I went to nursery school, kingergarten, and up till grade 8 at the same Elementary school. My school was in a middle-class neighbourhood in Oshawa, with a lack of diversity. It provided me with a foundation for academics and sports, and I was lucky enough to have a lot of family support with my schooling. How was your school experience differ?

The FAMILY is the primary agent of socialization; this is my Mom and Dad - I was adopted since my Mom was not able to conceive, which makes my birth and subsequent socialization a little unique.
