This video I did, I wrote about what my name means.This is kind of like the poem MY NAME by Sandra Casondros. Everyone else in my class wrote one about there names mean.
Your story is lovely. It inspired me to look up the Latin meaning of my name, Karen:
Karen = Variant of Catherine: Pure, clear. Form of the Latin 'Katharina', from the Greek 'Aikaterina'. It was borne by a number of saints, including St Catherine of Alexandria, a 4th century martyr who suffered torture on a spiked wheel.
I'm relieved my paternal Grandmother didn't get to choose my name, even though she really wanted to, since her name was Norma.
I learned that there is a Hill Tribe named "Karen" in the North of Thailand. So you may have a Beatles song, but I have my own tribe. :)
I love how you used such wonderful expression when you shared your poem, Julia. I also like how you sometimes came closer to the camera and whispered to us.
Great poem. There is power in a name, and power in knowing what your name means to you. Keep up the great work.
Wow, I love your blog. Just imagine how interesting it will be to look back after a year of learning and creativity. Cheers from Australia.
