My Name - Ramila Ward

My name is Ramila Milagro Ward and yes I know my first name rhymes with Vanilla. I know my name sounds weird, but that's what my parents named me. You may wonder why they gave the name, but as every other parents they might  have the same reason or different reason why they name their child.

My first name for example has many reason why I was name Ramila. For one my name isn't very common from what I know. Before I was born my parents were very picky on what they should name me. They wanted it be unique and special since I am my father's first daughter. My father wanted give me the name 'Remi' , but my mother thought other people would make fun of me so she wanted call me Ramila and father would think people would call vanilla. My parents both came up with the name Ramila when they decided to name after three people in my family, whose names were Clara, Michael, and Larry. They were my Aunt, First Cousin, and my father's middle name. Now this is where the Math comes into place... If you take the RA from Clara, the MI from Michael, and the LA from Larry you would get my name. Now you may wonder how my name got choosed over my father's choice of my name. Well lets just say ....my mom won the arguement that's all I know, but till this day my dad gave me the nickname Remi which I don't mind. I like that name over my real name since people mispronunce it my first name. (Thanks mom my sarcasm was noted)

Now my middle name on the other hand was made to me for two reason. One reason is it being past down from generation to generartion, starting from Grandmother. My middle is Hispanic which mean miracle in English. I was called miracle because My mother had me when she was older and it was a high risk pregnancy. The doctors thought that I wouldn't make it or I would have down syndrome, but here I am as an Early College student. Take that doctors!!!The second reason for my middle name was because it had to do with generations in my middle name. First with my grandmother who was the first one with the name, next was my mom, who then pass it on to my sister , then me, and finally my niece who was my sister daughter. That makes me the 4th generation to have Milagro as their middle name.

Now finally my last name it's nothing to special because you'll see it with other people, but to me it's something special. It makes me who I am today...It makes me Ramila.
