A Fabulous Moment

              My name is Sarmila Dumre Parajuli, and I am from Nepal. I speak Nepali and little bit of English. I live in Chicago, and I have been here since 2016. I have a big family in my country, Nepal, my grandfather, grandmother, mother father, brothers, but I am the only one daughter, so my name is Sarmila. It means comfort and protection in Nepali, and in English it means joyful. I like my name because my mom and dad gave it to me, and it means joy and happiness come to our home. My name is different than other people in my family. When I was born at home, my family felt so proud to meet I has like a princess because of the many boys in our house. I have seven brothers who are so nice, and they loved me when I was born. At that time, my family made parties and worshiped the god Ganesh because my family belong to Hindi religious, and they worshiped for giving them gift like a me because they put my name was Sarmila. My name is so popular in our family, so l like my name and I am proud of my family who gave me the name Sarmila.

              In addition, Nepal is still male – dominated country because in our culture every family must be born boy, and everybody has given priority of man. Although everybody wants to only son in their family, my mother and father want to bring to be daughter. My name was so cute and fabulous when I listened. When I raised in my house with my family, I think I always in the garden. Because I am so happy and proud to be myself, I was born in my family due to their loveliness and happiness. Now a days, I am here so far from my family, but I always love, miss, and care for them my whole life so, I am happy for my name is Sarmila.
