Questions and Answers
PART 1: Names
How did your parents choose your name(s)?
My parents chose my name based on family tradition. They wanted to honor my grandmother by using her name as a part of mine, which I think is a lovely way to keep family heritage alive.
Does your name have any special meaning?
Yes, my name has a special meaning. It means “bright” or “radiant,” which reflects my parents' hopes for me to bring positivity and light into the lives of others.
Is your name common or unusual in your country?
My name is somewhat common in my country, but it’s not overly popular. This gives me a sense of individuality while still feeling connected to others who share the name.
If you could change your name, would you? Why/Why not?
I wouldn’t change my name because I feel a strong connection to it. It represents my identity and family history, which are important to me.
PART II: Describe a TV Documentary You Watched That Was Particularly Interesting
One documentary that really captured my attention was about climate change. It focused on the effects of global warming on different ecosystems and how it impacts wildlife.
I decided to watch it because I’m concerned about environmental issues and wanted to learn more about what’s happening around the world. The documentary featured stunning visuals of nature and real-life stories from scientists and activists, which made it even more engaging.
During the documentary, I learned about the melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and the threats to various animal species. It was eye-opening to see the data presented so vividly and understand the urgency of the situation.
What made this documentary particularly interesting was its powerful message and the call to action it presented. It not only educated viewers about the challenges we face but also inspired me to think about ways I could contribute to positive change in my own life.
