Introduction

My name is Nicollette, and I am currently in the Early Childhood Education program at Humber College. I am 20 years old, and I was born and raised in Canada. My parents migrated here from Jamaica in the late 1970s. My father came here first, and lived in Nova Scotia for a while. Then he moved to Ontario, and sent for my mom to come live with him. My dad came to live in Ontario because he had other family members here, and he also wanted to look for better employment opportunities. My mom originally wanted to move to Baltimore because that is where most of her siblings were living. But because she married my father, she had to come to Ontario.
