My Chinese Name and Meaning.

Besides speaking and reading the English language, I've learned three times of how to write and pronounce my Chinese name while taking my Professor's class. It's very fun and interesting to learn how to say and write your name in a different way. Your name is a great start to learn other words, phrases, and symbols. The tricky part of learning the Chinese version is remembering what my name actually means. When Professor Tang tells me the meaning, I often forget. Sometimes it's challenging when I have to copy and write my Chinese name the way that I see it in front of me. Two out of the three times I've did this, I dislike the third time writing it a while ago in class. The professor thought it was good, but I sucked. Anyone can research their first and last name in different languages at any time. My Chinese name is below. Keisha Ruth, Ruth Keisha.

Now that the title is taken from the team, the players and everyone is speaking out on this.
