Who is Joshua Campbell?

‘Tis a question that many people (or persons) may like the answer to. I have made it the duty of one single soul to come up with that answer. Who would that be? That would be myself.My name is Joshua Campbell and I was born in Jacksonville, FL on July 30th, 1983 @ St. Luke’s Hospital. I would also speak of the exact time I was born. Unfortunately, I was never informed or given that information from the ones who have been blamed for my creation. I will try and keep from restating the facts already given up above. I have already done so. Forgive me. Speaking of my creation, I was created by Ronald and Suk Campbell. If my calculations are correct, they probably initiated the beginning of my existence around October 1982. My father is black and my mother is korean. Therefore, putting 2 and 2 together would make me black and korean.

As siblings & other family members go, I only have 1 sister. Her name is Tasha. She was responsible for naming me. So I am Joshua only because my sister said so. So I guess in actuality, all of my immediate family members had something to do with the creation of myself. I lack much knowledge about my family members aside from my sister and parents. My grandparents from my father’s side both passed away before I remember. My grandparents on my mother’s side live in Korea. I believe my mom’s father passed away but her mother still lives on. I have many uncles, but I do not know the exact amount. My father has 3 brothers. I’ve met 1 of them a few years ago but I was too busy with my own life to even care. The other 2 have passed away sometime during my life. I know that 1 of them was shot to death. The other passed away of some condition. I haven’t met any of my mother’s siblings, but I know that she has 3 sisters and 2 brothers, whom all live in South Korea. Her mother is still living there as well. She is 81 years old.

Whenever I’m asked about my family, I always say that I have grown up with the perfect family compared to many. I say this because everyone in my immediate family gets along with each other with no problems. We are just one big happy family. If you asked me about 10-15 years ago, I definitely wouldn’t have had the same response. Back then, I’ve had to live through what I considered some of the worst times with my family. I didn’t know at the time, and I still don’t know officially, but my mother had what I think to be schizophrenia. She’s had many hallucinations and delusions that I’d rather not discuss in respect to my mother’s privacy. Putting her in and out the hospital, it was a very difficult time for the family, financially for my father and mentally for all of us.

As a child, I grew into having a huge interest in cartoons and video games, just as most children liked in the late 80s to early 90s. My favorite cartoon was definitely Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. During this time, there was not a Cartoon Network, so cartoons were on every morning except Sundays and during weekday afternoons right after school. My eyes would always be hooked to that TV screen whenever a cartoon was on. Don’t even get me started on video games. When the cartoons were off, the Nintendo was on.

Don’t get me wrong though. When it came to education during my childhood, I was always on top of it. I usually made the A or AB honor roll for most of elementary school. My homework would have to be done before I could even think about watching cartoons or playing Nintendo. Of course, homework in elem. school was a cinch and I’d always have it done in 30 minutes or less.

Throughout elementary and middle school, I was an easy target for bullies. I’ve been in multiple fights with people I didn’t want to fight. I was rarely ever the victor. I was a short and chubby kid who did his homework every night, followed all the rules, and knew all the right answers. In no way was I the “cool” kid. I wasn’t even allowed to watch the Simpsons, MTV, etc. This was because of the Christian way of living that my family raised me in. So I had nothing “cool” to talk about. I didn’t know how to defend myself. I didn’t have any witty comebacks for anyone making fun of me. I learned that the things that I did and said to other people usually caused more trouble for me. As a result, I usually kept to myself.

When I hit high school, I gained a few inches of height. I basically grew into my chubby body. As a freshman, I remember being in a fight with someone and actually having the strength to hold them in a headlock. His friends pulled him off of me and I’ve never been in a fight since. From then on, I gained a lot of confidence. I started developing friendships. It probably also had something to do with the fact that it was a magnet school for Advanced Learning students. Ha! Much nicer group of people.

I was very athletic. I always wanted to be a part of sports. My father had his eye on putting me through baseball. I didn’t really like it as much as football, but I played from 1989 to 1997. I played for Normandy Athletic Association, Kirby-Smith Middle School, and other Fall Ball leagues. I’ve played each and every position, but my mains were 2nd Base and Catcher. I played football in high school for Paxon School for Advanced Studies in 1998 and 2000. I played the position of runningback and that’s exactly what I wanted to play. Unfortunately, I was the backup for both times, but I enjoyed my times being out there. I never played basketball for any leagues, but I played regularly with friends throughout my childhood.
