My Name


The name Gabriel means archangel. Although I like to think it sometimes, I am not an angel and I am far from perfect. Gabriel is a name referring to a perfect figure, someone who is impossible to compare with and/or match his greatness. Sometimes I feel that my name is very difficult to live up to because no one is perfect. My name shows that no one is faultless, and no one ever will be. It is hard having the name Gabriel and it is disappointing to know I will never live up to my names true meaning.

If my name were to be a number it would be three. My name is 3 syllables.  Three is a prime number because it has no factors. No one is like me, and no one will be like me. I am my own person, and I am different from every one else. This is why I am 3. Also, my baseball number is 3.

My name is a circle.  My nickname, Gabe, is smooth with no bumps or sharp sides. Similar to the curved nature of a circle, my name is one syllable and very easy to read and pronounce. I am very easy going and don’t get annoyed very easily.   However, I am someone who has endless thoughts and ideas.  This makes me similar to the radius of a circle, Pi, a number that continues on forever. I am also very reliable, comparable to the shape of a circle. I will always come back to where I started. This is why my name represents a circle.

My middle name is Madison. I was named after an Adam Sandler movie called Billy Madison. Identical to Billy Madison, I am very goofy and love to make jokes. Even when something is serious, unintentionally, I will make a joke about it. This gets me in trouble in school sometimes but it is the way I am and I can’t change it.
