My name

    Iris is my name. It may not be my first name but it's my middle name. My first name is random and has no meaning behind it. Iris is a type of flower and the word itself means rainbow. It is the flower of Iris the Greek goddess who was the messenger of love. 
 My middle name means the absolute world to me. My grandma, a well respected woman in my family is whom I received my middle name from. She is a second mother to me and I have the upmost respect for her. I adore the sweet smell of success and I get that quality from her. My grandma is like a lion. She watches over everyone in our family and will go out of her way to protect us all from any harm. Her heart is as pure as gold. I am beyond honered to share a name with someone like my grandma.

  2. I liked that you chose your middle name and not your first. Adding the part about the Greek goddess was a good idea too.

  6. Marlayna,
    I think that the simile of a lion is very clearly appropriate with the description you gave. It is great that you take pride in your family history.

  13. It's interesting how you chose to write about your middle name instead of your first or last, most people wouldn't think to mention it.
