Growing up Urkel / Jaleel White.

Growing up Urkel : (cover title)

White, Jaleel, 1976- (author.).

Summary:

"Does it bother you that people still call you Urkel? This is a question I get all the time and it's an interesting one--because the question lands differently from different people. Over the years, I've trained myself to hear their tone when saying the name or asking the question. If it's an older grandmother who hasn't seen me in a while or the other things I've done since Family Matters, she'll say, "Oh baby, it's Urkel!" with genuine enthusiasm, and I'll greet her with love and give her a hug. At this point in my life, I firmly understand that this journey was never just about me. It's been about finding my calling and figuring out the best ways to use it to bring joy to others. I see my story as a testament to the power of perseverance, authenticity, and reinvention."-- Page [2] of cover.
