MY NAME.My name means respect for youth. In hispanic countries there are different ways to write it.Juventino, Juvenal, Juventus and Juvencio. It's hard for the americans to say it right. They call me Juvenito, Juven or sometimes they give up so easily to say it. they want me to give, as they call it an usual name. So i tell them to call me Fernando. In Mexico the letter J has diferent sound( hoo) for ju.I've been name named after my father. it's a little funny because . When my mom took me to be baptise , the priest asked her what's my name? She didn't know how to name me; she wasn't even pick a name for me! So my Aunt told her to name after my father's name.As I told you, my name Juventino came from the word juventud or joven meaning Young.I wish! I stay all the time like my name means "YOUNG" to bad years pass and getting older is the rule of live.

Hi Juventino-
I love the ending of your writing piece. The part about the irony of your name meaning "young" even though you are getting older is deep. You have great details and definitely heart as you tell the story of how your mother named you.
Have you thought about how you want to structure your piece? You have great details, but they are all mixed up. It might be nice to divide your writing up into parts.
For example:
Paragraph 1: what your name means
Paragraph 2: how Americans always mess it up and how that makes you feel
Paragraph 3: the story of how your mom named you
Paragraph 4: how you feel about your name
This will help your writing flow and make it easier for readers to understand what you are writing. You can do it!
