You have 3 choices. Choose one and write about it here. There is a pink plus sign in the bottom right hand corner.

1. Reflect on your name: What does your name mean to you? Who named you? Think about all the things you know and feel about your name.

2. Reflect on a memory: Write about a time someone has mispronounced your name (or even a family member or friend's name). What was that experience like? Did you correct that person?

3. Reflect on a line: Choose a line from the story: What does this make you think or feel?

When you are done...

my name is from the Taino( native american). My mom named me from one of her favorite T.V. shows, named seven heaven. What my name means to me, its a very soft and pretty name for a girl. A girl who is quiet, crazy, and funny.

the first sentence of the story "nombres" made me think of how i changed my name when i came to america.it makes me feel connected to this person because i had similar problems.

The person that named me was my mom.
I feel like my name is unique because half of my name is from my mom and my aunt.

For me, my name means what I am, a sincere, friendly person, with great challenges and always looking for the good for everyone. My mom gave me that name. I think I do the name, not what a dictionary says, I think it is a beautiful name.

My name was given by my aunt when I was born. It is spell different than the usual. Some times people tend to spell it TRISTAN. Tristen actually means noise or bold which it doesn't go with my personality, because I'm shy.
