The middle name that appears on my birth certificate is Cristina and I’m quite fond of my middle name because to me the name sounds utterly cheerful and friendly. Maria and Cristina complement each other. Many people when I tell them how my middle name is spelled they tend to believe my mom made a mistake and spelled my name incorrectly. The truth is she meant to spell it like that not because she decided to be slightly unique and spell my name without the letter h but because she decided to commemorate someone or something. When I researched my name I discovered that Cristina is derived from Latin origins meaning “follower of Christ.” It is mostly used in English, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish speaking countries. My middle name at one point was a common name the way it is originally spelled, Christina. However every country has their own way of spelling Cristina. …show more content…
I sat there on the sofa next to her thinking that I have always known that my mom gave my middle name because when she was around nine years old she liked naming her dolls Maria Cristina and wanted to give her first daughter that name. I wanted to confirm my credence so I asked my mom, “Mom, why is Cristina my middle name?” “ It was my sister’s name,” she said. “ I thought my aunt’s name was Josefina?” I said. What my mom said next came to me of a surprise. “No, I named you after my other sister.” Right then I realized which sister she was talking about. My uncle had told me before that when I was born, he as well as my grandma and my grandpa thought that I looked like my grandma’s daughter. I remember my uncle telling me when I was younger that my grandma when she gave birth the doctor told her that her baby had died soon after birth. I never thought of asking what her name was but I understand that my mom wanted to honor her
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.
When Betty Smith needed a copy of her birth certificate to get a passport, she was surprised to discover her name listed as Sophia. Her mother could speak little English when she had Smith. When she went to tell about the birth, the doctor kept shouting "name?" at her and the confused mother thought he meant her name so she said, Sophie. Smith was baptized as Elizabeth Lillian Wehner, her mother refers to her in her letters as Lizzie or Littie, her schoolmates wrote to her as Elizabeth or
My mom gave the honors of naming to my dad. My dad was then debating before the birth either to give me a foreign name or an American name. Originally my name was Gia Bao Dao and was out of
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.
Why would someone need to seek psychotherapy? Which type of therapist do we seek out? Each culture has different needs and those also need to be taken into account when choosing a therapist and the culture we will be discussing in the following pages is a branch of Orthodox Judaism called Hasidic Judaism. We will be investigating psychodynamic, cognitive, gestalt, and client centered therapists, and explaining which of these would be the best choice to help our demographic feel like themselves again. “Speaking of the effects of specific forms of therapy, we need to address the question of which form of therapy is most effective for which type of problem” (Nevid & Rathis p.323).
The origin of the word myth seems to be a myth in itself. Myths have generally originated from a Greek history that used an oral tradition to explain events that occurred before the written word. Often supernatural beings or fictitious characters were used to explain popular ideas concerning phenomena's of nature or the history of people. The myths that were carried on from generation to generation were often very imaginative in an attempt to spark the interest of young listeners. These would be told at social gatherings. The main purpose of a myth was to relay historical information among groups. Early myths often dealt with the origin of man, customs, religious rights, incidents involving the lives of gods, stories of culture heroes, adaptations of old world myths, or the retelling of biblical stories.
There is many different ways which the concept of identity has been defined and studied by social scientists. Some of these scientists include, Coatsworth, Shwartz, Srivastava, and Furstenburg. The actual dictionary definition of “identity” is, the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. An individuals’ personality characterstics also relate to their sense of identity. These types of characterisitcs are known as, the “Big Five'”. This is a term used to describe the five broad traits of humans.
The view of identity seems to be defined by facial features and social constructed views. Depending on the recent look of someone it may just be more then just color but also background. In this essay I will explain how I relate to some recent views based on philosophers I may agree and disagree with in order to describe my identity. Identity is much more then just being labeled as a race, it can be based on much more.
Identity can be described as the way we view ourselves; the way that we distinguish ourselves from others while also comparing our similarities. In other words identity is what makes someone unique and average at the same time. To start off with I was born and raised in Jamaica for 6 years with my parents, but due to the fact that my parents were offered an opportunity to attend school in America they dove for a chance of a better life. My first home was in Jefferson, Missouri where it seemed like it snowed every day. White sheets of snow would cover every inch of the city, no stone or rock was left without an inch of snow. The city was so beautiful to me because it would always light up in front of my eyes. The people there was so nice that
`Were we? ... I believe I was relating to her some ridiculous stories of an old Irish uncle of mine. Your sister loves to laugh.'
Aunt Leslie then snapped me out of my deep thought asking whether I was okay. I told her I was even if it was obviously a complete lie. "So shall we go back to Geraldine tomorrow morning? Or would you like to leave in the evening?"
Rational. Not the first adjective I would use to describe myself, but when people call me “Alyssa”, people are telling me that I am literally not insane. Strangely, even though I never thought of myself as logical, I love working on reasoning puzzles and ace tests based off of rationality. Plus, I certainly am not crazy (I think). Perhaps my parents were determining my future when they read the special name off of a magazine and knew that they just had to name their firstborn child that. However, this “complicated” name comes with many variations, such as “A-leee-saa” (by my parents, who speak English as their second language), “Liz” (by my friends, who are too lazy to call me by my name, which is just so long), and “A-lai-sa” (by one of Chinese teachers who couldn’t pronounce my name correctly, which resulted in everyone else also calling me by that name in a joking manner).
Imagine a place of complete control of every action during any given day. This unattainable goal goes under the rug; however, this elusive place is attainable only in one 's mind. The dictating factor of all human actions lies within the emotion which derives from the inner depths of the sea. The sea monster which swims through the human body, leeching on to our brains and controlling them. Through the sea monster antagonizing fear into human`s consciousness, this brief attack dictates everyday actions. Fear, expressed from human responses to stressful stimulus activates the flight or fight response inside our brain. This triggers without our conscious awareness as this occurs as an automatic response. A human response in which requires no
For any writer there is times that we can 't choose the right word at times and at the last second we choose a word that seems right but it 's in the wrong context. As result, it leaves a wrong meaning to what we are writing. Well the problem is the usage of the "exact words" at the right time. The usage of the exact words helps the writer choose from a variety of words that help clarify or state the writer 's true meaning of his or her writing. Exact words comes in many different forms to help the writer from narrowing down specific words to the careful usage of figure of speech. Writers can use exact words to better state their reasoning of what they are writing. However, there are some writers that don 't know the application of exact
The philosophical problem of personal identity pertains to questions that arise about ourselves by virtue of our being persons. There is no single question that will sum up the problem, but rather a multitude of questions that are loosely connected to each other. Within this essay, the four most prominent problems will be explained and addressed. One of the most familiar is the question of “Who am I?” This regards to what makes one a unique individual. Another familiar question is, “What is it to be a person?” This concerns the necessary criteria for something to count as a person as opposed to a non-person. There is also the problem of persistence, relating to personal identity over time. An example of this would be to glance upon an old photograph of a childhood class, point and say, “That's me.” The questions arises of, “What makes you that one instead of one of the others?” The last problem to be explained is the one of evidence. How do we find out who is who? There are two separate sources of evidence used often in philosophy: first-person memory, pertaining to one remembering an action or event and therefore being the person who did such, and physical continuity, where if the one who performed the action or witnessed the event looks like you, then it is you.
