In “The House on Mango Street” Esperanza says “I don’t want to inherit her place by the window”, she also says she “inherited” a family name like me. Esperanza says that she does not want to inherit her grandmother’s “place by the window” and I can’t blame her I wouldn’t either, but I want to inherit everything I can from my family.

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.

It is important for people to have names, because your name and describes who you are and shapes your identity. I am Charles Fredrick Burke Anderson. I may have common names, but they come from a proud heritage. My name Charles has a long history, and many people have my name, but each person with the name Charles has his own history of how or why he got that name. Even though many people have the same name as me, we are all one of a kind.

I’ve always wondered how I got my name, Markel Ashawn Harrigan, and what the origin was and the meaning behind it. When I would ask my mom and dad, they would tell me that it was a mixture between my dad’s name, Marvin, and their favorite music artist R. Kelly. Callahan was a name my grandmother gave to me when I was a baby; she always called me by that name and never by my first name. Callahan is from the Irish descent and the meaning of Callahan is “lover of churches, bright- headed”. The name Markel means “of Mars the God of War, warlike”. The name Harrigan means “the descendent of the son of the grey-haired one”. I tried to research my middle name, and there were no results, for the reason of my parents coming up with it spontaneously.

I asked my parents and relatives about our heritage and where our last name came from they all said that the origin of our last name is Dutch. When my grandfather from my father’s side was still alive, he began to tell me his story that he was born in Holden and he lived there for a short period of time. He then started telling me his experience in leaving Holland to move to America with his sibling or member of the Voskuyl family. They traveled in the early 1900s by taking

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.

My mother named me after my grandpa because she has always looked up to her father as a positive role model.
Alison’s story is the perfect example of what many families must go through when faced with the possibility of having a child diagnosed with a learning disability. Alison was not diagnosed with visual and auditory dyslexia until the summer before entering college. However, while still a toddler, her symptoms had been brought to her mother’s attention by her sister’s teacher. Alison’s mother then noticed her habits in repeating words incorrectly and how Alison would need tactile clues to follow directions. At the recommendation of her kindergarten teacher, Alison was tested for learning disabilities and the results from the school psychologists were that she was acting stubborn or disobedient.

The final word came from a relative that happened to be a psychologist. He insisted Alison would grow out of her difficulties. So Alison continued on with her entire elementary, middle and high school journey as a student and daughter with an undiagnosed learning disability.
Names are closely associated with identity. Although a name is just a word used to refer to someone or something, many people are very attached to their names and feel that without their name, they would have no identity. According to R. P.
