My Name:Casey

Behind My Name:Casey Rose McCluskey
Before I started this assignment, I thought my name was more of a girl name, because of the way it sounds.
I think my parents chose this name for me because it is a nice name for a girl.


After searching on
Behind the Name, I learned that my name means I am a pet form of Cassandra in Greek.
Some other interesting things I learned are that in American English,it means I am from Cayce.

I think my name does suit me because of the way I look,feel and the things I like to do.I act like a Casey.

If I could give myself a new name, it would be Alex, because I really like that name.But I like Casey better.Thank you for reading this.Casey.

Tolerance

Tolerance is to be nice to those different in religion,nationality,etc.To have a fair, and objective  attitude toward opinion and practices that are different from one's own.To interest and concern for ideas, opinions and practices.To be happy about who you are.To have peace in this world.In the picture above,a cat and a dog are different,but their friends,because they have tolerance.Try to have tolerance everyday.
Also,in the USA,in the 1619 white and black people did not get along.Americans did not have tolerance.But Canada did.They smuggled the black people into Canada,because they were slaves.Canada had tolerance.The black and white checker bored shows that they are know friends.You should see the movie Hairsrpay.So,be nice to others different then you,and have tolerance.Thank-you for still reading my blog.Casey.
