My Search Essay

A Person’s name is with them all throughout the day; no matter where they are, their name is present. Many people do not think much about the role that their name plays in their life. Names contain the power to separate and expunge but also to connect people and highlight a person’s humanity.

I was given the name Chase Andrew Miner. My mom had liked the name Chase and Chance, but she finally decided on Chase. While that decision wasn’t too hard for her to make, (at least she said it wasn’t) my last name, Miner, was an even easier decision. My mom was married to my dad and she took his last name, so the obvious last name would be Miner. My mom told me she had a really difficult time figuring out a middle name for me. She couldn’t find a name that fit in well. One day my aunt, Lori, called my mom and asked about the name Andrew. My mom had thought about it and she decided that that name fit. So from that day I was Chase Andrew Miner. The joke my mom says now is if she knew she’d have to chase me so much, she would have named me Slow. But word got around of what

It’s no secret that the economy has not been the best in the past five or so years, and a lot of schools have taken the hardest hit from that. Public schools have had to cut many different programs and areas of study because it is simply just too expensive to teach all of them and provide the correct materials for the students. This is causing the quality of students education to go down, and they aren’t receiving all of the benefits that they should be. The education that a student receives starting in elementary school and all the way up into high schools sets them up for how they will do in college, and that will determine how they are going to live the rest of their lives.

When I first got this assignment, I was not sure about what my topic was going to be. I had never done this type of assignment before, and I went back and forth on good topic ideas. I changed the topic of my paper a couple of times before I finally decided on what I wanted this paper to be about. I decided to do my I-search paper on Elizabeth Blackwell. When I was younger, I was assigned a book report that had to be done on a biography. I did my report on Elizabeth Blackwell. I found her and her story to be very interesting. I decided to do my I-search on her to inform more people about who she is, and why she is well known. I found three valid articles on a database about Elizabeth Blackwell that I will be using as sources for this paper. I will also be using a tiny piece of information from a small survey that I did as an additional source for this paper. According to the survey that I had done, not many people have ever heard of Elizabeth Blackwell. I want to inform people about who Elizabeth Blackwell is, and why she is a significant person in history.

Victoria Alice Layman flows nicely doesn’t it? Well, my parents thought that it did too. I would love to be able to tell you that I was named after my grandmother or an aunt or uncle, but that’s not completely true. Leatha Alice was by mother’s beloved grandmother’s name. They loved her middle name but know they needed a first name for their new little girl. There was only one name in mind Victoria. But what about a nickname everybody had one well I had several.

On July 18, 2002, I was born at Mercy Medical Center. My mother named me Natalie June Connelly. The name Natalie came from my mom’s maternal great grandmother’s sister. Natalia. The name June came from my mom’s fraternal grandmother junelee. When I was younger I lived in many different places the first being my grandmother house. I don’t remember that house as I only lived there for three months. The next house I lived in wasn't a house it was an apartment. I remember the apartments only through stories.

I am not really sure where to begin. I was born on February 24, 1998 to Dawn Marie Rossean; my father is Michael Jared Burgess. My mom named me Ellen Frances Doutre, and until I was fourteen years old that was my full name; at which time, my father was added to my birth certificate along with his name, but he conveniently forgot to hyphenate it so I now have to explain that I have two last names not one: Burgess. It became very problematic when I was trying to apply for colleges, because even my high school originally got it wrong.

It is believed by many that a name can tell a great deal about a person’s character; moreover, it can also say that the name can additionally speak about the history of people as well. From my youth I’ve always known I had a strong, meaningful name even though it can be complicated at times. The first name, Bruce, came from my mother’s cousin whom she truly adored; the second name, William, came from my father, and for Monsegur and Calkins they both resemble my last name. I wish to know more about the meaning of my name, where did it originate from, and how popular the name is. By using the Internet, a personal interview, and a book, I discovered interesting facts about my names.

Sixth grade language arts class brought a painful experience that I never knew was coming. My class went outside to work on an independent reading project, and all of a sudden, I started to get extremely itchy. My skin, throat and eyes started tingling and throbbing. I rubbed my eyes without thinking twice about what was going on, I'd never experienced anything like this before. I ended up itching my eyes so much that they started to get red, dry and inflamed. I could have sworn they were at least two times the size that they normally were, if not bigger. As I stumbled down to the nurse’s office, barely being able to see, I wondered ‘what's happening to me? What caused this?’

My parents spent a lot of time arguing over what to name me. Their decision time was cut short when I was born over two months early, leaving them completely unprepared. As a result, I was actually nameless for the first few days of my life. My parents finally settled on Erica because it was the only name they could agree on (even if my dad calls me my sister’s name more often than my own). Despite it seeming like a rushed, last minute decision, I feel that Erica is the perfect name for me.

Every name comes from somewhere, whether it’s family history, just a randomly picked name in a baby book, or some other way. I got the honor of being named by my father. The story behind how he picked that name is pretty good to me but boring to others. He choose my name for a series of books by Karl Edward Wagner. The books are about a warrior by the name of Kane, by what I was told was left handed red hair and blue eyes. When I was growing up I had red hair blue eyes and when my father found out that I was left handed he giggled with joy. My name may not have come from family history or from a baby book, but to me it holds great meaning behind it.

Twelve studies were eligible for inclusion. All study designs were randomised control studies, with one being quasi-experimental. The sample size of the included studies ranged from 10 to 60 participants with mean age ranging from 62.5 to 73.8 years living in municipal senior centres, institutions, or were community-dwelling. Relevant conditions reported were dementia, coronary artery disease, degenerative joint problems and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, the majority of participants were healthy older adults, with most studies excluding those with any psychiatric or neurological disorders. The interventions utilised in the studies included the Nintendo WiiTM, Xbox 360, non-action video games, exergames, online game suites, exercise programs used on iPads, and cognitive training programs. Furthermore, the frequency of the interventions ranged from 3 to 24 weeks, and lasted 20 to 90 minutes per session. The outcome measures used included attention, processing speed, working, episodic, and short-term memory, executive functioning, reaction time, balance, functional ability, alertness, focus and physical functioning. Due to the large variation in interventions and outcome measures, data pooling was predominantly impossible. Selection bias was only detected in one study (Lee et al., 2016), in which a

As far as my name goes, it’s nothing out of the ordinary. I was named after my great grandmother, Catherine. Catherine means pure and clear. Although I don’t go by Catherine, same as my real name my nickname was named after my great grandmother, Catty. My last name is Geyer, and some cool facts about it is, the way it formed was guy + greedy man = Geyer. They took the ‘U” out of guy and replaced it with an “E” from greedy to make Geyer. Geyer is 97% German, and Ohio has the most family’s with the last name Geyer.

Search engines have revolutionized the internet, from searching for specific sites or remembering complex addresses, now Google and Yahoo can deliver millions of pages of results in seconds. The advancements have been amazing, from research and education, entertainment and leisure the results are merely a few clicks away.

"Rowan James." I whispered, the corner of my mouth upturned. It was funny the effect a new name could have on a person. For me, I felt invincible, like I could leave this dump of a family and do something for myself. With a new name, I could be anything. At scarcely 15, most people didn 't know I existed. It would
