It is My Name

            My name is important to me. It represents me, what I believe, and who I am. Your name can say a lot about you.  People may hear about your name and make judgments about the kind of person you are before they even meet you. Your name can either give you a good or bad reputation. My name has a reputation.  It is seen by others as ‘the girl who runs’ or Lindsey Dunkley’s niece, even when I haven’t mentioned that I run or who I am related to.  It is expected that I will run as well as my aunt simply because of my name and the things associated with it.
Your name can say a lot about what you value as well.  Things that make me happy are things that are creative, or require some skill or endurance. I like to go running, as well as drawing and snowboarding. Things that I don’t like are when people make accusations about others before they meet them, or even get to know them. Other things that can make me mad are people who don’t stop to think before they talk. It also makes me mad when people talk about themselves all the time and don’t have the courtesy to ask me how I am doing.  When I hear my name, these are the things I think of.  My likes, dislikes, talents, and interests are what people who really know me think of when they hear the name “Morgan Warner”.
