Descriptive Essay-Marin Elizabeth Pomeroy

283 Words2 Pages

Marin Elizabeth Pomeroy. The name my parents finally chose after having a nameless baby for weeks. Marin Elizabeth Pomeroy. The Marin came from Mariana which came from my great Italian grandmother on my Mom’s side. Marin is latin for ocean, both a beautiful yet fearful place. Sometimes I only go in up to my waist, scared the waves will take advantage of me, but when it 's calm, I look for adventure with a snorkel. Marin is the name that everyone thinks of as a place on the other side of San Francisco. Its pronounced just like the county I say when almost everyone over pronounces the a. It 's the kind of name everyone thinks is so unique which makes me feel special. At home Marin turns into Mini which feels like warm soup on a rainy day.
