Both my first and middle names were "handed down" from my grandmother and my great grandmother. My first name, Madeline, means a woman of Magdala. Magdala refers to a tower on the Sea of Galilee. Personally I connect with this because the Sea of Galilee is in northern Israel. Being Jewish I strongly advocate for Israel. While I have never been it is my dream to finally make the trip one day. I love the fact that my name means from Israel and I wear it as a proud Jew! My middle name, Faye, means confidence, trust, and belief. I connect to this because I have strong beliefs that I have the confidence to stand behind.
There are many times in your life when you experience something as two people; as an individual and as one part of a group. For me the first example that comes to mind is leadership. As a leader you are forced to separate yourself from the group to lead the group and to make decisions independently. However as a good leader you must remember you are part of the group as well and it is crucial to understand how your decisions affect the whole of the group. Using both sides of your personality can combine into a unique perspective.
