My Name
My name, I haven’t really thought about my name before. It’s a pretty slow calm name which means princess. My name is Hebrew and it is also the name of Abraham’s wife in the Old Testament. It’s not a thick name but neither is it a thin name, it’s… balanced.
My name is biblical and is really easy to remember. It’s a short common name which can sometimes be teased like Sahara or Zara but truthfully I don’t understand what’s so funny about it. Also, my name can be spelt lots of different ways like Sara, Zara, Sehra, Cera, Cerah, Sarai….It’s uncountable!!!!!!!
My name is angry and mad, happy and sad. It’s a pretty joyful name. I have never hated my name or understood it; and sometimes I feel my name is too simple and should be longer or it should have a different meaning, but a name is a name and there is no changing it.
Truthfully, I don’t know why my parents gave me my name; I guess they thought I was a nice name for their little girl to have. Sarah, that’s what they called me, just Sarah short, plain, and simple.
Sarah, a name that feels like a whirl of sparkling snow, a friend that helps you when you are sad and wobbles wherever you go. If I ever had one chance to change my name, I would pick Sarah. Just plain, Sarah.

I like the voice in this piece of writing! The ending was strong - your used short, sharp sentences to emphasize the simplicity of your name and that was effective. I liked the image (source it please).
