I am having an identity crisis. My name is Rebekah, but sometimes I forget.
What are you talking about? You might ask. No one calls me Rebekah! Not that I mind, because I don't, but sometimes it's weird to think that that is my legal name and that is the name on my birht certificate, and the name on my library card.
-First of all, I introduce myself as "Bekah". Many of you call me "Bekah". My teachers call me "Bekah" or sometimes Ms. H, but usually Bekah. A lot of people at school call me Bekah. If you don't know me that well, you tend to ask "what's your name?" I answer with "Bekah."
-Second of all, my closest friends from church call me "Reba" it all started at Max's birthday party when the lady didn't know Krista's name. At school, when I'm with my friend Bekah, people call me Reba, people call her Bertha.
-My good friend Kristen call me Hans Solo. It's because I call her Obi Wan K'newby and she calls me Hans Solo because of MY last name in relation to the actor's name who plays Hans Solo.
-Sometimes people call me Rebound. It comes out of Reba, but it's mainly because I'm tall. April has me in her phone as "Rebound"
-My own PARENTS don't call me Rebekah. It's Bek or Berekah (no that's not a typo) or any endearing term like sweatheart bla bla bla all the mushy names.
-My brothers call me whatever their thinking of at the moment. Sometimes it's Bekah, sometimes goose, sometims silly monkey, or some kind of name that only your brothers get by with calling you.
BUT a Rebekah by any other name would type as bitter-sweet, so I'm going to go charge my iPod and see you all later. No matter what you call me.
-Rebekah
