Post for Nguyen

Some people may experience being made of for their names or even how they look in the world. In the article, “America Ruined My Name For Me” by Beth Nguyen. Nguyen states that, ” A name like Bich (pronounced “Bic”) didn’t just make me stand out—it made me miserably visible.” I picked this quote by Ngyen because I can understand how hard it would be to be made fun of your name at such a young age. Even though this has never happened to me I have seen it happen before and I think that is unnecessary to do. Most of the time I believe that people make fun of other people because they want attention and since “Bich” sounds very familiar to other words people think they can make funny jokes out of it. By making fun of Bich it not only causes embarrassment but low self esteem in her life.

About Me

Hi, my name is Haley Slattery and I am from Kingston, Massachusetts. I am an Applied Exercise Science Major. I enjoy running and am currently on the UNE Women’s Cross Country and Track Team.

I chose Applied Exercise Science because I am very fascinated with the human body and how it functions. I hope to go on to PT or DO medical school after I complete my undergraduate. I am very interested in expanding my knowledge with the human anatomy of the body. I hope to one day work with patients to educate and improve their overall health. Follow me along as I continue to build this site in WordPress for educational purposes!
