Reflection of My Name

During the first day of English class, we were put into groups and told to discuss the meanings of our names. Right away I though "IM IN TROUBLE"!...lol I didn't have a clue of where my name came from or why I was named it. Therefore, I was skeptical about the whole activity. Fortunate for me my group members found it funny and didnt look at me like I was a crazy goose!

Obviously my name Ashley. I asked my mom later that night where my naem came from and she said she got the idea from a popular sopa opera. "Ashley" is a a very popular name; therefore, I don't feel as though my name defines me or describes me. Being as though Iconsider myself to be an unordinary and unique individual. However, I don't allow my name to set any type of boundaries around me. I live day to day as the person I've grown to be, regardless of my name. All in all, my name, its self, doesn't mean that much about me, but the person behind it and the differnent characteristics and traits represents and means a lot.
