- Is there a story about your name? Where you named for someone? Do you know what your name means?
- Is there a story about where you came from, either your birth or the day you arrived in your home? What have you been told about this story of your beginning?
- Is there a story about your favorite object? The teddy bear that still sits on your bed or the treasure you keep secure in a box? Where did this come from and why is it a part of your story?
- Is there a story about your best friend or your ex-best friend? Who are they and what part do they play in your story?
Who are you? Start with your name (if there is a story about your name), your family, the shoes on your feet...we are all one big story, still in the process of being written. In a small slice of writing, tell us a piece of your story.

My name is Sydney. My parents named after the movie "Alias" because there was a girl named Sydney and both my parents agreed on that name. I have a mom, a dad, and a younger sister in 4th grade named "CJ". I also have a dog named Amanda. The day I was born my mom's best friend, Michelle, gave me an elephant and from that day on my favorite animal has always been an elephant. And my best friend is Avery Young.

I am Thomas Allport. I was born in Pennsylvania on June 6 2003. I was named Thomas because I had many Uncles who were named Tom so my parents wanted to keep the name but change it a bit. All of my family was born in Pennsylvania but my dad was born in Liverpool, England. I have 2 sisters. My Dad's side of the family lives in England but my Mom's side lives in the US.
