We had fundraisers for less fortunate children multiple times and even got to interact with them every winter. The leadership role on the cheer team taught me so much, we lead the entire student body to have school spirit and respect at the football games every friday night.

My dad described me as perky, cheerful and happy, my mom says beautiful, gentle, and self-conscious. These adjectives describe me accurately, yet they are only abstract versions of me. Adjectives cannot begin to describe me and I aknowlege these descriptions for what they are, a condensed translation from my outward self to the world. It is impossible for anyone to understand me completely because nobody has experienced the things I have. My mother has never cherished a raggedy doll named Katie and my father never spent hours upon hours making collages and scrap books for his future children. My uncle never hid in the back of a pick-up-truck and traveled four hours to New York and my grandmother has never walked hours in the rain looking for the Queen of England. My identity is something only I can define.

  • Personal Narrative: What My Name Means

    520 Words  | 2 Pages

The language of any culture can define a person, but ultimately your name can define much more than what a language can. With our verbal communication, the way in which we use the words in a language to generate meaning (pg. 77), we can generate a meaning with our names and with that meaning we can potentially define who we are. As I think of my whole name, “Elisa Monique Hernandez”, I personally enjoy the way it flows, so when asking do I like my name, I do because it is the name I was given and the name I will keep forever, unless I get married.
