My Name

My name is not a common name and this is why I like my name. My name is Wai Ho. Wai Ho is a very special name to me because it is rare and uncommon. Maybe that's why people didn't make fun of my name or gave me a nickname. I never met anyone that has same name with me before and I like this. It is not a good thing to have someone that has same name with me, because people will make fun of you. I knew it because I always make fun of people that has same name. I also like my name because I got this name since I was born. I don't want to change it because I don't want to memorize a new name. My friends and teachers will also have to start remembering my new name and it is hard for them to suddenly stop calling me Wai Ho. Wai Ho is translated from Chinese name. When I was a child, I always wanted to know why I was named Wai Ho. My parents told me that this name was given by a great monk. Also, Wai Ho means precious and proud. I like my name now and I wish I won't change my name forever. I am very proud to be Wai Ho.

Theseus' journey

My myth book's hero is Theseus. Theseus is a strong and brave hero. He was the prince of Athens. He didn't know he was the prince of Athens until her mother told him that his father was King Aegeus. He decided to go to Athens to find his father. On his journey to Athen, he defeated a few villains. He defeated Isthmus the Tree-Bender, Crommyonian the Killer Boar and Sciron the Guardian ofthe Highway. After he became the Prince of Athen, He fought with Poseidon's bull and killed it. Poseidon, the god of sea was mad at Theseus and put a curse at Athens. Theseus decided to kill the bull's son, Minotaur in Troezon. He went to Troezon with a boat and went into the Labyrinth to fight with Minotaur. At last, he killed Minotaur and went back to Athens. King Aegeus told Theseus to put the white sail if he success, but Theseus forgot and put up the black sail. King Aegeus thought Theseus was defeated and jumped into the sea.
