How I Got My Name



I wrote this paper in the 7th grade. 

As the paper states, my name is chosen from my great-grandmothers on my father's side. My mom goes by her middle name, and so do two of her siblings, so she did not see anything wrong with calling me by my middle name, too.

 

I was born Anna Rose Bukaty on February 14th, 1984 in Lancaster, California. My father was working for LTV, a defense corporation that was bought out by Lockheed Martin, where he still works. He was moved to Edwards Airforce Base to work with the space program. They have home pictures of the space shuttles landing at the air force base and tell stories of the sonic booms that happen when the shuttles re-enter the atmosphere. My brother, Matthew John Bukaty, was born in 1987.
