It Is My Name!

        Stephanie is my name. It was given to me the day I was born. It represents me, who I am, and what I stand for. That name gives me power in all that I do and say. It means to me that I am my own person. I know that n matter what anyone does they cant take it away from me and my memory. When I really think about the name Stephanie, I really wouldn't be any where in life with out it.
         When my name is seen by others, I think (hope) that they see it and say "Hey I know her! Stephanie is a funny, fun loving girl!" That when people see or talk about me they think of what I believe in, what I will and wont do, and all my values I have and keep. I hope when they talk about me it is only good. They will know that I wont do any thing that will hurt me, my family, bring me into harmful situations, or bring me down in any way.
           Stephanie. I read that name and I think of all the things that come with it. I think about the things that make me happy and mad. Some things that make me happy are my family, friends, swim team, and all my talents. Then some of the things that really set my fuse are when people are mean to me, say bad stuff or sick stuff, when kids don't respect their parents, and the list could go on but we wont talk about that.
            The last few things that come up when we are talking about the name Stephanie are how my friends and family see me. I think that my friends and family see me as someone that will do anything for them, fight for what I think is right, a person that just loves life, loves to laugh and have fun. I really like to know that is what they think of me.
            Stephanie. That is my name and it always will be. I will fight for it if someone tries to take it away.
