Compliments response

I agree with you a compliment is nice. It's cool what those guys did and they were sincere about it. I like your style of writing and I think you did really well talking a lot about something as small as a complement I find it hard to do that. I like how you started with the questions it made me want to read more. You are very good at linking topics together. In that post you talked about a lot of things and I wish I could do that.

My name

My Name

My name is from the Latin word Patricius, it means nobleman. It has the base (patr) as in patron- financial or other support, Patrol- watch over or guard, Patriotic- support for you country ready to defend it. Words that have (patr) as their base usually have a supportive or loyal meaning.

I got my name because my parents had unusual names so they wanted to give us normal names. So they thought and came up with Patrick because it is Irish and they both have Irish heritages.

My middle names are John and Allan. Traditionally the men on both sides of my family have to middle names. John comes from my great grandpas middle name. Allan comes from my dad and my grandpa’s middle names.I am proud of my name and I hope I can live up to it.

My quote

My full quote is "It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end" it was said by Ursula K. LeGuin an American science fiction writer.
The small picture of the road was painted by Mitch Baird. The longer one was painted by
Jacob Alexander

I chose this quote because it is true that the journey itself is important especially if it is an emotional journey. As you go through life you are on an emotional journey, some parts affect you more than others. The journey is also important because you learn lessons from it. The lessons are what make the journey important. It is also good to have an end a reason why you are going through this journey mental, social or physical. In the picture there are DNA wich decides you height and hair colour but it is the events throughout your life that shape who you are.

I have gone through many social journeys either to make new friends or to adjust to new places. I have also gone through physical journeys such as hiking or somewhere new. I understand this quote and from past experience know that it is true.
