Thinking and Miracle

            My name is SIQI Zhang. SIQI is a normal name which my parents gave me. At first, I didn't like my name very much because it sounded like a girl's name in Chinese. In fact, when I was a primary school student, my classmates laughed me about my funny name. Not only classmates but also the teachers laughed. One of the most impressive things that happened when I was in a class, our teacher decided to choose a girl to answer a question. Finally, he chose my name. Then, he said "Isn't SIQI a girl's name? "As a result, the whole class laughed at that time, and I felt terrible. However, when I grow up, it doesn't matter what other people think of my name anymore. Although my name is funny sometimes, I think it is an important sign in my life. Also, I think it is an important connection between my parents and me.

  

     Sī                                              Qí 

       My name is made up of two letters. One is the Sī, the other are Qí. The character Si means thinking in Chinese. As a result, my mother gave my name Si in order to let me think more with my brain. It is similar to another Chinese parent, my mother always put her dream on me. She wants me to be successful. Therefore, she gave me another letter of my name, Qi, which can mean miracle in Chinese. When these two letters come together, I think that is the real meaning which my parents gave me. They want me to think and to be a miracle.
