The Best Name In The World...Grant!


When I was younger I used to dislike my name. I thought that it was dull and also made me seem strange and different. I thought it was like an old black and white portrait, Uninteresting. I hated how no one else knew a Grant and that, back then, not many kids were sure that they could pronounce it properly. Grant, which is an English male name, means great. Of course I think this suits me because, well, I am great! At first my Parents were about to name me Connor but they chose Grant instead. My parents told me that they liked it better. They also thought Grant was good because it was too popular but also not that strange. Now, I quite like my name because, for the very reason that I once hated, it is unpopular. Now I love how no one has the same name has me. I enjoy how when everyone hears my name they do not confuse It with another one. Personally, I think Grant is the best name on Earth and I’m glad that it’s mine to keep.

The picture I that I used is a black and white piece of art. I thought that this was a very interesting photo and it looks really cool. I selected this picture because in my writing I said that I used to think my name was dull like a black and white portrait.

Grant, I liked the way you have described your name using comparisons with "bright", "dull" and "black & white". I am also very impressed with your picture which as you said, is an old time art. I would encourage you to enlarge this picture.

Grant!! Good job! I really liked how you start of saying that you really hate your name and towards the end you learn to like it in the end.

GRANTTTTTTT...um....i liked how you made a comparison of your name with a dull black and white painting thingy, and how you built on with your writing on how you liked your name in the end.
