1) Hey Mrs. Gill,
I just thought introducing myself would be a good way to start. My name is Dayna Wall, but you possibly already knew that. So now I should probably tell you a bit about myself. People say I am very outgoing and energetic. Sometimes I can just go go go go go go go, like the energizer bunny. I get random spurts of energy and most of the time I don't know how to use them, so I do random things like jump around and talk really fast. The only problem is, this makes it very hard for me to concentrate on things like school work. I will always try my best to contain myself and do all my work but sometimes I can't. There are other days where I will just be quiet and do all my work, these days I am usually really tired or just bored.
I guess my friends would say I am a very unique person, I like doing things my own way, I don't like following the way other people act. I am always trying to be true to myself, because I am the only person, who truly knows me. My friends call me crazy and fun to be around, because I always think of fun, random things to do. For example, the other day my friend and I got bored, so we decided to make ourselves lions. We teased each others hair so it would stand straight up on end, then we drew whiskers and black noses on our faces. Here, we face another small problem about me, I do not tend to think things over very well. In the end, we had to brush out our hair, and it was an absolute mess, it was all knotted and painful to brush through. However, we had fun doing it so it was worth it.
I love music, it is one of my favorite things. To me, music can express so many different feelings, love, sadness, anger, happiness. Music is the soul of everyone, no matter how your feeling a song can be there to express that for you. I like all different kinds of music, because who would limit theirselves to just one? My favorites though, are alternative, screamo, and heavy metal. Depending on the mood im in, I also like country, hip hop, and oldies. If im sad, i like to listen to music that has either sad lyrics, or just things like a quiet piano, playing something pretty.
I hate it when people try to make me into something I'm not. I don't want to be the person that everyone loves, and is super perfect, and has the perfect life, because then you have nothing to work for. Life may not be perfect for me, but I am happy. I have friends who love me, I'm working at becoming a better person every day, and life is taking twists and turns taking me wherever. Some people do not like not knowing where they are going to end up. Day by day i make my own choices as to how to live my life and its like going down a road with a million forks in it. You come up to one fork and decide which way to go, and that will take you on a whole new journey. Who knows what would have happened if you had taken the other way. Who cares? I do not want to waste my life wondering what could of been. I want to go on living and constantly be making more and more choices that will land me in different places everytime. People are also always wondering what is ahead in life. We will never know that. I live life in the moment, deciding what I want, and whats best for me, for the time being. We are living in the present. The past is over, the future remains a mystery. Why do you think they call it the present, because its a gift being able to live right now.
Well, I think I have rambled on enough. Now you know a little bit more about me.
so buh byee
-Dayna



2) I guess I do like my name, I wouldn't really change it to anything else, because then I wouldn't feel like myself. I was named after my uncle Daniel. They wanted a feminine name for it, so they chose Dayna. I do not think my parents considered other names, I am pretty sure they just liked the name Dayna.
My name, is from Irish origin. It is the feminine version of Dana, a modern form of the name of the Celtic goddess Anu. Online its says this means I am sensitive and emotional you are highly intuitive and have a wonderful imagination. The instinctive impressions which you receive about people and situations are usually accurate and mean that you can rarely be misled. You have healing and counselling abilities which can help to alleviate the suffering of others. Your loyalty, integrity and belief in life means that you are much admired and assured of many friends.
My middle name, Christine, is Latin. It says that I am courageous, intelligent and honest you are a seeker of truth and willingly accept the responsibilities of leadership. Exercising wisdom and sound judgement you base your actions and decisions on the lessons of past experience. Your alert mind and creative ideas assure you of success with any project and can bring you great financial rewards. With your ever positive attitude towards life others find you inspirational. My middle name, was named after my aunt Chris.
My last name, Wall, is also from irish origin meaning, re-Anglicized form of de Bhál, a Gaelicized form of de Valle, the name of a Norman family established in Munster and Connacht. It says that I am peaceful, poised and understanding you do not let anyone or anything disturb your innate calm. You are tolerant of others no matter how their behaviours or beliefs differ from your own. Not attached to material or worldly affairs you are free to express your true self. Displaying great wisdom and serenity people are naturally drawn to you for guidance and counsel. Your courage and presence of mind see you through any adversity.
According to the research i did online, this is my family crest. The Wall coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The gold on it means generosity, the silver on the knight stands for sincerity and peace, the blue is for strength and loyalty, and the green stands for hope and loyalty in love.

Living with my name, has never been an issue for me. I used to hate it because it seemed so boring and normal. I always wanted something that sounded more i dont know, i guess more pretty, feminine. But, now i like it, I feel like any other name wouldn't fit me quite right. Most of the time i forget i even have a name, I'm used to hearing people call me other things or just not say my name at all, like 'Hey, You!' I've become more used to being called babe by my boyfriend than actually being called my name. Every now and then he'll say my name and I'll take a minute to process that wait a minute he is talking to me.
Sometimes when I am writing my name on a paper, I spell it wrong, I've spelt my name: Dana, Daya, Daayna. Sometimes its just because I'm not paying attention, like the other day I spelled been, beeen all because I was talking to someone else. But, other times i actually do forget and I have to take a minute to think about how my name is spelled.
In all, my name is mostly Irish because a big part of my backround is Irish. I'm used to my name, and I don't think I would trade it for something else. Unless it was really cool(:
