Improved Essays
In the year nineteen ninety-nine, my mother had given birth to her fourth child. My name was undecided between my mother and father.

It is also not just the name of a manufacturing company that produces water heaters and stack gas heat absorbers. My name is my symbol that describes my personality and character. It is something very valuable, yet priceless.
I always wished for a regular name like Shanice or Aaliyah. However, my name has its own significance. I also never knew my name would have any correlation to me as a person. It is true that I am benevolent. Ludell is a very uncommon name, but it is
