SIGNIFICANCE

                                           SIGNIFICANCE

Noah Kojo Awer is my name, and growing up as a kid, I never liked my name because it sounds like an ancient old fashioned name. To me, an old man.

             I was born into a Christian home, but I wasn't really paying much attention to the Christian walk until I turn twenty, that was when I started to take my Christian walk seriously and my Christian life seriously.

I read about the story of Noah and the ark in the bible, and after I started to love my name. Since then, when I hear people call my name, I smile.

            I strongly believe that I have inherited some unique gifts from my name, especially from the history and traditions attached to my name.

             In addition, it has influenced me positively because I love to serve people and teach people especially when it has to do with the bible.

                I have a strong passion for charity work, I like giving a lot because Noah from the bible served people, taught, and sacrificed for people. Those qualities I have emulated after reading about him.

In conclusion, I will say I love my name and whenever I hear my name two things comes to mind. The first is if have helped anyone today, and made a positive impact in anyone's life. The second is  I always thank my mom for naming me Noah, my name has helped shape my life.

Time Bomb!

  Time Bomb! Many people think that the meaning of life is to be rich and have luxuries. It sounds like it would be the perfect lifestyle. I am from Mexico City, a big crowded city where people can find a little or a lot of everything. For a long time, I thought that being rich was the path to reach happiness. Now, that has changed. I have been far away from my country for one year and a few months. During this time, I have started to appreciate things that I wasn’t looking for before. Nowadays, I look at everything differently, and every time I consider that there are more important things in life. My priorities with my time are to spend it with the people that I love, studying what I like the most, and working in something that can give me joy and happiness. Unfortunately, since I moved to the U.S, I have lost my time management. I feel a lot of frustration and trapped. Being far away from the people that I love has been hard. Now I have started to appreciate and enjoy to...

The Prince

  The name Amir is of Arabic origin and is commonly used as a male given name. The meaning of the name Amir is commander or prince , reflecting the strong and powerful connotations associated with the name. I like my name because it makes me feel more confident. I would be happy if someone called me by my name too. My father gave me the name. I wasn’t named after anyone. In addition to its cultural significance, the name Amir also has a strong literary tradition. In Arabic literature, the name Amir is often used as the protagonist in epic stories and poetry,   for example, Snow white, sleeping beauty, the princess and the beast and the prince frog. All these stories are famous tales.

I think it’s not too hard for people from other cultures like Americans or Spanish speakers t...
