**//__MY NAME:__//** The name Arianna comes from the Italian form of the Greek name Ariadne, meaning very holy. It is also a Welsh name meaning silver. Throughout the years the name Arianna is starting to become very popular. It was listed as seventy-seventh most popular name for babies in 2006. It is a very popular name in Italy, Iran, Eritrea, and Afghanistan. There are many famous people with the name of Arianna, including a famous politician and writer, Arianna Huffington. Although I love my name, one thing I hate is how lots of people are starting to also have this name. I was always used to being the only Arianna around. Throughout the years since it is becoming a popular name, I meet more and more people with this name and I don’t like it. I prefer being the only Arianna and not sharing it with other people.
 * //__ENTHUSIASIM FOR LEARNING:__//** Many people enjoy learning about certain things. Well I enjoy learning about soccer. I like learning how to play it, learning new tricks, and learning about famous soccer players around the world. Since this is only my second year on Southeast High Schools soccer team, I am still a beginner. Many people believe that soccer is just a group of people running up and down a field trying to score a goal. Although that is the broad way to explain it, it is much more complicated. You must learn the positions, tricks, and how the game works. I try my best to improve these skills by always making sure to attend every practice possible. I give 110% at every game. And ask friends for help to better improve these skills. I also learn about this sport by joining Southeast High School's soccer team. I enjoy going to practice and playing in every game, this helps me ensure that I have a full understanding of the sport soccer.

**I myself have never been ugly to someone who is mentally challenged. I have witnessed people being ugly to mentally challenged people a couple of times. I fell that this is a very childish and immature thing to do, mentally challenged people are not like that by a choice of their own, but because God made them like that for a certain reason. Many people make fun of them, or pick on them, simply because they are different and not like everybody else. I usually try my best to intervene if I see these kinds of things happening. It makes me feel very sad and angry when I see these cruel things happening. But when I go and help that person out, it makes me feel a lot better about myself.**

 * __Tell me about a time when you had an epiphany!__**

 I had an epiphany not too long ago when I found out my grandpa was extremely sick. This made me realize that it was the small things in life that were important. I realized how special it was to be able to spend time, and holidays, with my grandfather because I soon might not be able to in the future. Never take anything for granted because at any time they can be taken away at any moment.
