Growth, building blocks or becoming a man

Abecedarian

A.J., that’s his name,

But what does his name mean? It means to

Create an Identity based off many virtues.

Dignity, Pride, Integrity, are all characteristics of him.

Everything he does may not seem perfect, but

For the most part he tries to do what seems right.

Going through adversity is something we all face, and he has people to help him get through it.

Having a strong foundation of parents are what makes his name, and they’ll prepare him

in any situation he faces. His middle name is a biblical name, and it is

John. It shows how his religion is played, and what is expected out of him. As a

Kid he was always taught to treat other how he would want to be treated, even if he didn’t

Like the person. If he did this, he would become a better person and would gain

many people’s respect. Now A.J. is respected by his friends and family because he did

not ignore his parent’s wise words. A.J. tends to keep this pattern and pass it down to

other friends and family members because he wants change. A.J. has a last name and it’s

Pleasant. His last name has a valued meaning behind it and is something he shouldn’t ignore.

Quickly assuming his last name means to always be pleasant is false advertisement. Because in

Reality not everything is pleasant. A.J. asks himself why there are

Some people in this world that don’t try to make the most of their day with their own virtues.

To A.J., trust is an important quality. Trust is a valuable virtue because one can’t let a person

Unworthy hold such a precious responsibility. It has to be held with care, because it is such a

Valuable virtue. He knows it must be earned, and is something he continues to pursues

Week after week. A.J. deals with his stress and ups and downs one day at a time, like a

Xylophone and its different sound patterns. A.J. wants his name to be remembered,

Yet only time will tell when that day will be, but time itself

Zooms by as A.J. continues to grow.
