The Unbreakable Pillar

Emad Abdullah

The Unbreakable Pillar
In Arabic, my name means support. It also means a pillar that supports a building. It is like the number four. It resembles my father in how he supports his family and the sacrifices that he made by coming to the United State. He works day and night to give our family home and everything we needed in school for us to be successful. He gave me this name because he thought I would be the pillar that holds our family in the future. He said, “you will be the Unbreakable pillar.”

When my parent told me why they chose my name, I turned into a whole new person in diverse ways. I became more responsible for my actions and I also became humble and caring for the people around me. I feel so blessed for having this special name because my name is all about what family is, which is supporting each other. I will try my best to be the unbreakable pillar that my family thought I would be. I would never change my name “Emad” because it is short, easy to pronounce, and I really like the meaning and the story behind it.
