At first I thought about changing my name to a short one because I have a long last name that consists of eleven letters. It then crossed my mind that if I had a short name like Ali or Rita it wouldn’t be as interesting as having a long first name. People would be more concerned with my last name as opposed to my first name, which I believe is more important. Not only that, but it would also amuse me to have a first and last name that is difficult to pronounce; it would give people a challenge.
I think it’s great to have a long first name because you can create so many nicknames from it, for example the name Annabelle. If you are not satisfied with this name you can have people call you An, Anna, Belle, Elly, or even A.B.! The choices seem to be endless with long first names. This is why I chose the name Lucrecia. It is my mother’s name as well as her mother’s name. They have each given their own meaning to the name, but unfortunately when researched the meaning is unknown. This name has many nicknames attached to it, such as Lucy, Lucre, Sha, or even Lu-Lu.
Lucrecia is not a common name, therefore making it original and unique, which is what I like. I also like the fact that this name can be pronounced in English and Spanish. In English it’s pronounced, Lu-Cree-Sha and in Spanish it’s pronounced Lu-Creh-Siah. It may not sound exactly the same, but at least it’s compatible with both languages. In my opinion, Lucrecia sounds better in Spanish.
It’s kind of hard to believe that I would change my name to Lucrecia because I didn’t really like my mother’s name until recently. I always thought her name was weird and unusual. I never met anyone else with that name. Now, I would be more than happy to change my name to Lucrecia, after my mother, because she means a great deal to me.
A name represents more than just a person; it represents who they are. I look up to my mother because she has maintained a positive outlook in life, which has allowed her to acquire everything she wants. However, she has dealt with many obstacles along the way, some of which are a minor stroke, skin cancer, a broken leg, pneumonia, and arthritis.
However, Xxxxxx is my preferred name and the name that relates to my culture and the land where I grew up. It is “my piko name connecting to my aina”. It also connects me to my ancestors and enables me to feel their presences. Even though I highly prefer this name, I cannot use this name openly as I want to which is a big burden for me. Nevertheless, the significance it carries and the culture that prevents me to disclose this name are very important to me. The significance of my home lanf and my cuture is what makes this name very special. Therefore I feel comfortable sacrificing my preference over my culture and belief.
My full name is Jason Accardi Junior. I was confirmed in the Catholic Church at the age of 14 and received the name John Bosco for my confirmation Saint. The reason I was named Jason because of my father Jason. I do not have a middle name because my father does not have a middle name; therefore for me to be a junior, I could not have a middle name either. The reason my father wanted to name me after him was because it was the only name he could picture me as being. My mother wanted other names for me but my dad was determined and had his mindset to name me after him. He wanted to start a tradition or a legacy of the name Jason through the Accardi bloodline.
In the article “The Name Is Mine” by Anna Quindlen, she explains her story about her name, why she chose to keep it, and why it has such meaning to her. As a result of keeping her maiden name, there were many positive and negative aspects that went along with it.
Therefore, the idea of a woman changing her last name is truly up to her. Each women has a personal belief when it comes to last names. Some may change theirs and some may not be so willing. Filipovic may have been rather biased on the issue but she was able to provide reasonable understanding of why a change in a woman's last name can be so significant for some women in this era. There are many reasons to keep or change a last name but in the end it all boils down to a woman's belief on what she considers to be the factors of her
On the lid of the calorimeter, there were two holes and one was being used for the thermometer, and the second one was left open. This hole could have let heat to escape as the reaction was taking place which would have lowered the final temperature value. These conditions would have led to a lower final temperature value. To prevent even the slightest anomalies in the future, any holes on the calorimeter can be covered by tape or another item that could block the passage. The top of the calorimeter could also be covered with aluminum and this would not only cover the holes but would secure the space under the lid so any heat that may escape would stay within the area due to the aluminum. Aluminum could also be tucked in the space between the lid and the calorimeter to once again lock the heat in. This way, the calorimeter will be more effective and maintain all the heat of the reaction resulting in values that are completely accurate and decreasing even the slightest
The data which was collected in Procedure A was able to produce a relatively straight line. Even though this did have few straying points, there was a positive correlation. This lab was able to support Newton’s Law of Heating and Cooling.
“Be who want to be,create a name for yourself”(Unknown). Being one is the greatest gift to society. Creating a name for one is important and key to striving in throughout society. A name will never define someone as a person. The person will define the name. The article “ ‘Black’ Names: A Resume Burden?” by Bootie Cosgrove- Mathers discusses, the burden many parents of color face when choosing their child 's name. The stereotypes set out throughout society on if a parent of color should name their children “black” sounding names is significant. Parents of color should name their children “black” sounding names to embrace their black identity, bring across equality, and end the negative stereotypes that come with “black” sounding names.
The first law of thermodynamics simply states that heat is a form of energy and heat energy cannot be created nor destroyed. In this lab we were measuring the change in temperature and how it affected the enthalpy of the reaction.
Well my Messas name was Nole William, and we were named for him. But when we was freed, we were told to take freed names.
One of the much-disputed problems of international relations is explaining the occurrence of war. Defining war is easy – it is a military conflict between two or more parties. However, difficulties come about when we question why wars break out. A realist would posit that war is linked with human behavior, so wars are naturally occurring phenomena, and also that the system of anarchy resulting from the absence of a higher power leads to a state of war (Lisinkski). So realism offers a rather cynical explanation: we are destined to wage wars, since all politics is a struggle for both power and survival. Wars may be fought either to protect or expand security of...
Reed Hastings, co-founder of Netflix headquartered in Los Gatos, CA, began the company’s operations in 1997 after receiving an enormous late charge from a movie rental he returned long overdue. However, Hastings had the desire to be different than traditional movie outlets; whereas, customers had to drive to the location, pay a certain amount for each movie they rented, and were given a deadline in which to return the movie. Instead of using a method established by other video markets “to attract customers to a retail location, Netflix offered home delivery of DVDs through the mail” which eventually led to a booming business towards streaming forms of entertainment (Shih, Kaufman, & Spinola, 2009, p. 3). Direct and indirect competitors, along with outside obstacles, to a greater extent present a financial threat for Netflix. As a result, Netfl...

I have read an account called " 'What's in a Name? " ", which is composed by Henry Louis Gates. This account demonstrates to us a youth experience of the creator that happened amid the mid-1950s. In the article, Gates alludes to an occurrence when a white man, Mr. Wilson, who was well disposed with his dad, called his dad "George", a name which was a prominent method for alluding to African Americans in those circumstances. In any case, Gates' dad needed to acknowledge this separation and couldn't make a move around then. By utilizing sentiment to bring out individuals' enthusiastic reaction, and utilizing suggestion, Gates effectively communicates his claim that name shapes individuals' discernments
There have been a vast number of lives that have touched mine. Many different people have shared a piece of their soul in my formation. However, it is my mother who is the most important and most influential person in my life. My mother raised me by herself since the day I was born. My father was abusive and she left to make a better life for the both of us. She has worked as many as four jobs at one time. My mother wants to make sure my brothers and I have a better life than she did. It hasn’t always been easy for her, taking care of us on her own, trying to pay bills and making sure we had everything we needed. My mom has always had us involved in sports at a very young age. We always were doing something or involved in something growing up. We went to summer school all through elementary school because she wanted us to get a head start. I remember when we were little she enrolled us I a manners and more class and I can recall when we would go out to eat people would compliment us on how well behaved we were.
