What is the story of your name? If you could change it to something else would you? This week we had an opportunity to think about another aspect of our identities by sharing poems about the origin and meaning of our names. Some unique, some often mispronounced, but always a way to tell the world who we are.
My Name
Nyrita H.
9th Grade
My name Nyrita
Get it right, I got good grades
And I am strong, I love myself
Am I wrong?
If no one got me, I got myself
Self care is the best, not a test
My name Nyrita and I’m the best,
My Name
Danijah K.
9th grade
Danijah, beautiful as a violet flower
strong like a pack of wolves
As beautiful as piano keys sound
vibrant as Niagara Falls.
Cold hearted like the winter,
but sweet and warm like the summer.
Yes, my name is Danijah
Beautiful woman
That’s what it means.
Originates from Arabia.
My name given to my by
my mom, who saw my future of being
a beautiful woman.
My Name
Mariah O.

M is for mature
A is for amazing
R is for responsible
I is for intelligent
A is for awesome
H is for hard working
All these words describe me,
And show who I am
Because I’m responsible, I’m mature
enough to handle my business
I’m’ a hard worker
Because I do it for my son
Rosario
Rosario C.
11th Grade
Roses of love
Offering peace to the world
The salvation is the key
It’s all about the the earth
Respecting each other
I’m the name of peace
And love
Only the truth can save
the world
