    • I like your poem because it was an intresting poem and showed me why you are the dedicated person that you say you are. I look forward to reading more from you in the future since you made a nice poem.

    • Dear Miguel,
      I really enjoyed your poem. It shows what kind of person you are outside of school and how focused you are on your goals. The future holds many things and dedication is a good way to over come those things.

  • Salvador, I also have a positive relationship to my name but i don’t have a nickname like you. I really like how others inspire you to be the person that you are now.

  • Vicente, I can also relate to your post because I was named after a family member that was pretty much a great inspiration. My name, like yours fills me with aspirations for the future. Great work.

    • Your names relationship to you is very similar to mine. We carry around our names with pride and they motivate us to become overall better people.

    • Dear Miguel, I love how you used the metaphor about the frog in the desert it really expanded my thinking about your name. I think your writing is very powerful and the way you talk about your family is very passionate. I’m glad I got to read your work, even though I don’t know you, your work let’s me know that you are a strong worker and I hope you accomplish your goals in life I think you have everything you need to be anything you want. I hope you keep writing I would love to see more of your work. Sincerely, Liz

    • Miguel,
      this is a super cool topic. Our names are this thing we take for granted all the time. They are literally a permanent tag by which we will be known forever and we don’t even choose them. There’s an interesting theory in the world that your name actually defines who you are as a person since it changes how people perceive you. Check out this article: https://qz.com/1050340/the-name-youre-given-as-a-child-can-shape-your-face-as-an-adult/ … and let me know what you think. It’s crazy to believe there’s real science behind this idea. Miguel, you might be who you are because you are Miguel, and it makes you unique.

    • “Whenever I thought of my name, It was like a frog in the desert, I had no clue where it came from, or why it came to be.” — Such a creative simile. I love it 🙂
