Is my Name Special

 

               When I was a child, I hated being called Danna. I was that kind of girl who didn’t like her name. One day, I asked my mother why she gave me that name, and she just said because she like it. I asked her again to tell me the whole story about my name.

 When she was pregnant, she had a complicated pregnancy. The doctors said that she had to be on bed resting until my birth. As a result, she had months of sleeping and watching TV during her whole pregnancy. She used to watch a famous soap opera while she was pregnant. I don’t remember the name, but the main actress was Danna Garcia.My mother did research about the actress’ name, and she figured out that her name means sweet and kind. She was convinced that her daughter would have the same characteristics. She wanted me to be special as the actress. 

Now that I am older, I can say that my personality has some similarities related with the name. Besides, a few years later my mom investigated more, and she figured out that Danna also means justice, strongness and braveness. We realized that I have been like that at some point of my life. There have been some occasions where I have been brave, stronger or defending someone from injustice situations. 

Eventually, I started to appreciate my name. When I learned what represents my name in my life. I have grown up being sweet, kind, brave and strong. I also believe that God put my name on my mother’s heart. My mom never was wrong about my name and the person I would become. Now, I am thankful about my name and what it represents to my life.
