What's in a Name?

What’s in a name? My name is so genuinely american that any archaic meaning that it ever possessed, is long forgotten. I’ve never felt any connection to my name, it’s more for others than it is for me. I wear it like a dog tag, if i ever get lost in the battlefield of high school, i can be identified. I hear my teacher call on me, but I continue to stare out the window. It's a self preservation tactic - I bear through the momentary embarrassment of being singled out, but it's soon forgotten when the teacher gives up and calls on someone else. Day dreaming is what I’m best at. I will keep eye contact with a person, but be singing in my head and dancing somewhere far, far away. I’m a recluse and I'm content.
