Edgar

About Me My name is Edgar. I live in north San Diego county close to the beach. I’m originally from Veracruz, Mexico. I came here to the U.S on February 14 in 1998. I have been here 12 years. I like to live here because it is a beautiful place. I work and study English. My goal for the future is opening my own company for myself and my family. My hobbies are playing soccer and listening to music.

My NAME My name is Edgar. This name originated from the English and French and is derived from old English elements. Edgar means “rich, blessed” and gar means “spear.” This name is famous because it was used by the author and poet Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) and an French painter Edgar Degas (1834-1917). I like my name because it is a short name. Sometimes my friends can’t spell my name. They call me Egar or Esgar, including my mom. I think my name is special because it’s rare. Not a lot of people have that name. I think my name doesn’t match my personality because I’m not rich but I’m blessed. Nobody in my family has my name because they don’t like my name. However, I’ll never change my name even though my family and my friends call me nicknames, such as “guero,” which it means “white boy."

My First Baby Birth The birth of my first child was an exciting and wonderful experience. It was six years ago on April 5, 2004. When I was working, my wife called me. She said, Hey, can you come because I think the child is coming. I need you to come. I told her to wait. I was working in Escondido. I said, hold on. I went in one hour. She told me, I can’t wait because it hurts. I went with her to take her to the hospital. She went to the waiting room. We were waiting a long time. Then doctor came and told me the baby wasn’t ready to be born yet. The doctor programmed the appointment for the new birth to be induced, so we went back home to wait for that day for the baby to be born. Then on April 12, 2004, when returned to the hospital. I was really nervous. When I was in the waiting room, I needed to go the bathroom a lot. But what was more beautiful is that my child was born. I went to carry him. I was scared because when I carried him, I thought he was going to fall. When the doctors came they asked us what we were going to name him. We said Ian Carlos. I think it was comfortable for my first baby, and it was a great experience for me. I told everyone to be proud of being new parents and having a new baby.
