Best Gift

   People say a name is the first gift that parents give their children. This gift contains best wish and blessing. Do you like your name? I like mine. It is not the most special, but it must be the most unique.

    My name is simple and easily to remember, but that’s not the reason why I like my name. I like my name because it has a special meaning. In Chinese, my name means appreciation. I am thankful that my parents have given me such a pretty name. They must have wanted me to learn how to thank each person who is living in my life and loving me. However, I am not only thankful for living in this wonderful world, I am also thankful for my parents who brought me to the world and have given me all the best.

    Nevertheless, I like my name because there is a coincidence story behind it. In China, people do not celebrate Thanksgiving and my parents never knew this festival before they came to Chicago. However, the coincidence is I was born on this meaningful holiday. Thanksgiving as a day of giving thanks for the blessing. Its meaning is similar like the meaning of my name. I like the unexpected coincidence because it's make my name lovelier.

    That is the best gift my parents have given it to me. I would like my name of the meaning to live and I will take their best wish to appreciate everything. I like my name, and you?
