How my name might influence what I would be

     I certainly believe that the name of the person influences the lives of some people significantly. For example, a football player named "Ronaldo" was, is, and will be the greatest player on Earth. The first memorable one came from Brazil. He went through Holland, Italy, and Spain and dominated every football league he played. The second one also came from Brazil and he used the name "Ronaldinho (small Ronaldo in Portuguese) to avoid confusion from his senior. The little one showed his magic in Barcelona for a relatively shorter time, compared to the first but still many people regard his magic unforgettable and ineffable. The third one came from Portugal and he is the leader of his national team, although he has only reached 27. He changes the goal scoring record every season and every part of his body is a potential threat for the opponents. 

     Even though their talents were the greatest factors in their success, their common name Ronaldo must have created some positive influence, at least for the last two. Youngil is not a really popular name but some people do use it in Korea. When I was younger, I searched the names of me and my friends on the internet to see what comes up. The two memorable ones that popped out were a poet and a baseball player. I liked the poet but not the baseball player. I have always been a big fan of football, and during elementary school, I had thought playing or watching other sports means a violation of my liking toward football. So I was disappointed to see a baseball player no matter that the player was getting tested for Major League Baseball. The poet was also quite a well known guy and he ran a TV program that introduces some good poems. I seriously thought about being another poet called Youngil Jung. I once participated in a writing contest eligible for all the students from the Northern state of Jeolla and won the first place with a poem I wrote within about 30 seconds. All the time I had been playing and wandering around. I did think about what to write but did not come up with anything fun. More strangely, I was going to write an essay not a poem. Suddenly, certain phrases came to my mind and I wrote them down. What a moment when true genius comes to light! I believed that I was talented in writing and with my name being a poet in the encyclopedia of the internet, I seriously considered or wanted to be a poet. This might be the greatest influence of my name on my life.
