- 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 Molly McIntyre. There are a lot of interesting things about me. One thing that is very special about me is that I’m a twin. My brother is named Ian, and Ian is one minute younger than me. That means that I am older and that I am the better one. If you know Ian and I, you will know that I’m better! I have a ton of hobbie, some of them include swimming, baking, doing crafts, and lacrosse. When I bake I normally bake cupcakes. My friend and I have our own bakery called Mo And Far’s Cakes that one day we really want to make into an actual bakery! Baking and swimming are what I love to do the most.

My name is Regan E. Dadey. My parents say they liked the name when they were looking in a baby book. They saw the name Regan and fell in love. Now that I am looking into my name it is a boy or girls name. In irish my name means impulsive or furious. My middle name is Elizabeth and I was named after my aunt on my mom's side. My sisters and I were all named after my aunts on my mom's side. My last name is often mistaken for daddy. So, it really has no meaning all I know is that it is Irish. The really cool thing about my name is my initials spell the color red!

My name is Grace. I was named after my great grandmother Grace. She passed away last year. she was a loving and caring person. When she went to the nursing home she couldn't remember anything. My parents named me after her because they thought that when I was born that I would have the same personality and her and have the brown eyes she had. When i was born i ended up having the same brown eyes and loving caring personality that she had.

I like Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. I main Blitz and Thatcher on attack and Jager and Rook on defense. I am pretty good at TCRRS, I like to think. I play TCRRS with Tristen Carlton, Liam Mullen, and Donavan Boland sometimes. I play TCRRS a lot. I got In bronze once. Kudos to anyone who knows what these means: GG EZ, GG no RE, and GLHF

In 2016 I was struck with a terrible fate. This fate caused my friends to turn on me and leave my high and dry. At that time I was lonely, sad, and scared. Until I saw a light, a light that would change me forever. It was the Legend of Zelda, a game that was so fun to play I could never put it down. In fact, It was so fun fun to play it made me forget about all my troubles. So when it's time for trouble to hit, I know exactly what to do.

I was born on February 12, 2005. My parents got the name "Hallie" from the famous actor, Hallie Berry. My last name, “Bouchard” is a French name. I was born in Albany NY, but I originally lived in Galway until I was three. At the hospital, I was given a yellow blanket. Still, to this day, I have it lying in the back of my closet.

January 4, 2005. A -5 degree day also, the day I was born. My sister came 2 minutes before me and my brother a minute after me. Since the day I was born I’ve had my same hazel eyes and dark brown hair. And it’s been that way since the very beginning.

My name is Harshbir Chander. My parents got my name from a book of names. The reason it's so unique is because the book of names is Indian. They flipped the book to a random page and the pages there were the letter H so they picked threw those. They were stuck between 3 names and they decided on Harshbir. That's how I was named Harshbir.

When my friend moved it was like part of me moved to. I don’t get to see her at all. The only thing we can do to talk to each other is send each other letters through google docs. I may have only known her for a year but it felt like i’ve known her for years. She was the first real friend that was like that for me so when she moved it was an extremely emotional process. Even now i’m still emotional about it.

My name is Anka. When my parents named me they wanted me to have an Eastern European name. Anka is the Polish version of Anika or Anna. My name means a lot of good things like beauty and grace. However, in Swedish the word Anka means duck. My parents had no idea about this when I was born; running your child’s name through a translator is not a priority.

My name is Rafael Andres Valladares. It’s my father’s first and last name and his father’s as well. My heritage is from natives who originated in California, I’m not 100% sure, but I think the name Valladares came from them. I like the name because it sounds cool and strong, if you say it with the accent. I also think the name is very unique too, that’s another reason why I like it.

One of my favorite things that I have is my hockey gear. I would sleep in it if that wasn’t weird and or stink up my room. One of my main pieces is ‘’ My Weapon,’’ which is my stick. It is what I score with, pass with, and sometimes, if I need to, hit with. I treat it like my baby. Another piece is my skates. Now obviously you know this, but they are so important. I treat those like gold. If I was able to I would make a home for them. I have even named my stick. That is how much we hockey players love them. I could rant about every piece of equipment, but I forgot some of the names. When I find them I’ll be sure to tell you. Until then, it’s David out.

My name means “cloud in the sky” in Telugu, a South Indian language. My parents named me this because an astrologer told them that my name should start with the letters M and E. In my free time, I like to fence, practice Indian dances, and cook. I don’t have a favorite object, but my favorite belonging is my dog, Charlie. Charlie is a Yorkshire terrier and I love him to death.
