Liberty Dave Rupp Research Paper

Decent Essays
The topic I chose was “write about your nickname”. My real birth name is Liberty Renee Rupp but I go by Libby Renee Rupp. The reason I go by Libby is because i got made fun of a lot as a kid, especially in elementary school. I also just didn’t think it fit me. When I started kindergarten I didn’t get made fun of too much, but when i hit first grade that changed. I mainly got called the statue of liberty or liberty bell pretty much the works. It was just about always the group of 4 (cade, owen, troy, morgan). Those 4 boys made me hate my name. As the years went on it got worse and worse. In the morning when we would sing the pledge people would aim and look at me and say it. When I hit about 3rd grade I stopped going by Liberty, from then on
