What’s in a name?

Names mean different things to different people. The power of a name and its value has long been immortalized in many different ways. Everyone recognizes himself or herself by name. “A name is the grouping of several letters of an alphabet, or other symbols, which represent the identification of a person or an object.”

How would you feel if you had to memeroize 50 names in one day? Could you do it? 

This was the task for the day. 

The day was filled with name games and team builders. I will admit…I don’t know all 50 names of the participants but  I do know some of them. I hope by the end of the week I will report that I know all 50 names, but not just names. I hope by the end of the week I will know the character of each persons. You will hold me to that? I hope you do.

You know my name, not my story. You’ve heard what I’ve done, but not what I’ve been through.
