My Name

Everyone’s name has a special meaning or story behind it. My Name is Jinming Huang, and I like my name, because it’s neutral name. I rarely see the women with use the same name. When I was in kindergarten, teachers prepared a set of boy's uniforms for me. Because just looking at my name, many people think that I am a little boy. For this reason, my mother thought about changing it to a more feminine name. I'm so glad that my mother didn't do this in the end. I think this name suits me. The name entrusts the good wishes of the family to the child.  My grandfather decided my name. Jin means colorful, and Ming means tomorrow, so I guess my grandfather wants me to be an educated person and hopes my future will be wonderful. I also hope I can be such a person. In China, my friends often call me Xiao Ming or Ah Jin. It is more intimate and lovely. In the US, my nickname is Jessi, because I think it’s easy to say. A name is a symbol of a person. It not only serves to identify a person's identity, but also contains the blessings of your family. I hope we can all understand the story and source of our name, this is a very meaningful thing.
