My Personal Introduction:

Being a Senior at UCF, I can confidently say that I have not had to talk about myself as much as I have thus far this semester. This is my 4th introduction assignment in the past 2 days, so I hope I have got a handle on who I am. That being said, Hello all my name is Alexandria Bergeron. I am a native Floridain and was raised in Jupiter, FL... a small town in Norhtern Palm Beach County. I began my years at UCF as a History Major, but current I am listed as an Interdisiplanery Studies major with a focus in Health (American Sign Language) and Education and a minor in History. My final goal is to hopefully become a high school history teacher back home.

To sum me up in a nut shell, I am one of a kind. Let me introduce you to my little querks and lifestyle. First and for most I must let it be known that I suffer from "Only Child Syndrome". It's a very serious syndrome that often leads to moments of "me time" that my boyfriend (of 4 years) affectionately refers to simply as "attention". I am a self proclaimed nerd especially when it comes to anything historical. My friends often refer to me as having an old soul and I sometimes pick up the role of being the "mom" in the group. I love mexican food, rock music, chapstick, and giving customers 41 cents change (because it is one of each of the coins when done right). I strongly dislike people who sit next to me in a movie theater when there are tons of seats open, seafood, and long lines anywhere. I am extremley outgoing and with the exception of skydiving, my policy is to try everything at least once.

After thinking long and hard about myself in terms of my gender is and the role it plays in my life I would have to say that I am the cookie cutter idea of what a women is viewed as being in the traditional sense of the gender role. I am not currently an activist in any orginization but am extremly excited to become active in agencies that support my personal... and often much more liberal ideals then those of my family and friends. I am not sure what I am hoping to get out of this class but I am sure that I will get something that will help me better understand myself and the women that I surround myself with.

Sincerely,
Alexandria B.
