My name
To many, your name is something you cherish. It is the thing you have to live with the second you come out into the world. Your name is an ID Card to show who you are, and it is the thing you will be known as until the end of your life.
In some ways, a name is like a movie. You may see the title but you don't know what the movie is about until you actually see it. Like a movie, a name is your identity but people don't really discover who you are just by knowing your name. My name, Rohan, comes from Sanskrit, a language that is an old hill and it means "To ascend". Just like a movie, you don't know if I'm really going to ascend until you figure out who I am and what my personality is. You don't just know if I will "ascend" in this world just by learning my name. Maybe I will, maybe I won't (Although,hopefully I will!).
When they chose my name, my parents craved something short, simple, easy to pronounce, but also something meaningful. After pondering many options for countless hours, they finally settled on a name for their firstborn- Rohan. That name did not come from a friend or anyone famous but it was perfect for them- and it is a perfect name for me too.Thinking about my name, I concluded that the name Rohan (To Ascend) is something that I would like to be called for the rest of my life.
Changing my name is not something I would even dream of doing, because my name is so important to me. Now I really feel that I will 'ascend' through the journey of life with my name and I would not trade Rohan, my name and identity, for anything.
