The story in my names

     Names play as an important role in our life. It helps people to distinguish everyone. A name may change someone’s first impression on you. They might guess your gender, appearance or even personality through your name. In Chinese ’Feng Shway’, name even affect a person’s whole life. However, I don’t the Chinese name that my grandparents chose for me when I was young.

    My Chinese name is Zhou Xinci. The word ‘ Xin ’ means happiness, and ‘ ci ’ means kindness. They wanted me to have joy in my life and be nice to everyone. It’s seems lovely and special. Nevertheless, my name sounds similar to the name of a famous comedian – Stephen Chow ( Zhou Xinchi ). My classmates used to make fun of my name and it really distressed me. Everyone who came to me just asked me if I was his relatives in a joking way and told their friend about it. It’s embarrassed and I didn’t how to respond. Finally, the teasing and making fun of my name stopped when I got into high school. People become more mature and stopped acting like a children. Growing up, I realized the reasons and the symbolic that behind my name. It has a beautiful meaning behind it. I wish I could be happy everyday and be a friendly guy who everyone likes. I began to accept and like my name. It included the love of my grandparents and I should treasure it.

    My English name is Jessica and I chose this name by myself. It means rich and God beholds. There is also a wealthy landlord’s daughter called Jessica. I like the meaning of this name, it’s always my goal and the name sounds beautiful and simple. It helps people to memorize and remember me. Though I like both of my Chinese and English names, my English name bring me more convenience in my life.

    In short, although I was once hated my Chinese name, I’m relieved now because I know it’s a precious gift from my grandparents. Additionally, a name follows the person until he died. We should choice the name seriously as it could affect his life.

There’s a woman’s head surrounded by notes and rests in the picture. She’s enjoying music. The notes represent music, and the woman represents me.  The picture is a true representation of me because I love music so much. Music is very important to me. I enjoy listening to music, playing the piano and singing. It’s part of my life, without it my life will be boring and vapid. Music can affect my emotion, it cures my sadness and give me hope. I’d like to listen to music when I was tired, it makes me feel peaceful. To do better in the course, I’ll put my passion of music into Media Art. Always do my best and hand in the homework on time. When I’m tired, I will try to relax myself by listened to music. In this year, I want to get high marks in different subjects and get into a good university.  I will do my best in projects and exams. In my free time, I like to reading novels, playing piano and visiting countries. I like to explore different places and enjoy the time of being alone. It gives me time to think and feel everythings around me.
