My Name

My name, Jared, has a historical origin and one other one that I find odd. The historical origin isa pre-flood biblical name, and the odd one is a 1960s television show called "Big Valley". My name has many meanings such as ruler, descendent, and commander. If I had lived up to what the name "Jared" means about a person I would be trustworthy, a good leader, responsible, and adaptable. (Approximate Rhyme) Although I am adaptable I would still fear change. I would also want a better family connection. These are all true except for wanting a better family connection. However, my last name "Reed" can mean independent. Reed can also mean restless and rebellious. (Alliteration) I hear my name the most when I am with my friends, they always bark (onomatopoeia) my name to get my attention because I tend to zone out sometimes. They normally yell "Jared" or my nickname "Jahreed". I got my nickname because my friends took an "e" from my last name and put it in my first name to combine them.
