monologue

Hello everyone, my name is Rex and I am named after a dinosaur. There is nothing much really special about me besides my unusual name. All my life I have been asked for my name twice when meeting new people. They would always think they heard wrong when I say my name is Rex.  But thanks to this peculiar name, I was able to write my college essay about my name and even this monologue. So why would I be named after a dinosaur? My parents thought that dinosaurs were strong and they wanted me to be strong too… Some people said that it’s because Rex means king in Latin but I’m sure my parents did not know that. Also, some friends told me it was because my parents were drunk which I think is unlikely. Well whether or not I’m named after an ancient reptile or the highest position in royalty, I will still be who I am today. As someone once said, “always be a first rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of somebody else”. Thank you.
