Sophronia Donegan probably sounds like a terrible name to
you. That would be because it is. I got stuck with a name that was handed down from
my great grandmother. No one can ever say it correctly, and I get looks as if I
should look a different way with that name. I’m twenty-one years old, but I
probably look fourteen to you. I graduated from Central High School in 2017. Go
Devils! Most people hate their high school experiences, but high school for me
was one of the best. Nevertheless, I most certainly would not go back. I have
an older brother that got handed the simplest name, Richard. We basically

change. I love to help other people and make sure they feel loved. Self-love is
an important asset to me. Never settle for less, and never underestimate
yourself.

He made me believe in myself when I found it most difficult to believe in myself. There are a lot of time when I compare myself to my family and their struggles. They did not make the best decisions, and it did not turn out the best. He taught me that I chose how my life turns out. I can choose to be successful as long as I am determined. Without my grandfather, I do not believe I would believe in myself the way I do. I do not think I would be in college and pushing myself to be the best I can be. He loved to fish, and we shared that in common. He was a caring man and always put other people before him. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was a one of a kind man. I miss my grandfather, and I wis...
